1. Do not, i repeat Do Not use that radiator stop leak crap, that aluminun silverich looking crap, it will leave so of that crap inside your engine and it will cause further problems for you in the future (trust me.) 2. check your coolant hoses, if they are all good and you can see from where the leak is coming from on the actual radiator just buy a new, you can go to any Autozone (you may want to look their number up, call them ask them to please go put their hands on the actual radiator to make sure they have it in stock because those bums will tell you they have it and when you get there you get pissed because it was not on the shelf, ((it has happened to me)) and get a radiator and it will most likely come with a lifetime warranty which means that anytime anything happens to the one you bought from them you can take it back and they will give you another one, for as long as you own the car, sweeeeet, oh and by the way i have some metal floor mats for your car if you are interested,
good luck mate

If you want cheap, you can get one from a junk yard. Honda radiators are SOOO easy to do. They are all held in by 10mm bolts. Just get an adjustable wrench for your radiator clamps and replace them with new worm clamps. Now if you still have the leak after this repair, bring us more details. Might be the water pump or hoses.

I just changed out a new radiator for my friend '01 accord. I bought it brand new at Advance Auto Part for $150 with warranty.
