It sure is. Leaking radiator fluid only causes the coolant system to de-pressurize and not effectively cooling all the internal working engine parts. As to repair costs, one needs to evaluate the cost of repairs vs replacing the radiator. If the car is older, then replacing the radiator might be the way to go.

Take it to a radiator shop or purchase a new one. I agree, and will go even farther. I would replace the radiator unless there was considerable savings in repairing it. The repair is only as good as the person doing it.

Could be a small hole or even be corroded. Remember it is under pressure so a very small hole will squirt out. check all rad hoses also for tightness and condition. my radiator has plastic tanks and cracked after a lean mixture of coolant froze and expanded the plastic tanks.

Can epoxy glue fix a whole in your automobile radiator?

If the hole is fairly small, yes, it can do that. First degrease and scrub the area, then warm the epoxy immediately before you put it on. If the 'hole' is a crack, drill a very small hole at each end of it (1/16 or 3/32 drill bit) this will stop the crack spreading. - This will NOT be a permanent repair - but now you have some time to find another radiator, possibly from a wreckers yard.
