Leaking Radiator!

Disaster has struck! My radiator has sprung a slow but annoying leak. I've had a quick look and it's not the hose or coupling so it must be coming from the radiator itself. Only leaks when the car is running and the pressure is up. Losing 1 drop every few seconds.
 
Looks like I'm up for a replacement or perhaps a repair? Can radiators get welded or gummed up? If not what's the best option for replacement? Genuine toyota, second hand, recondition, ebay special?
 
Thanks for any suggestions,
Adrian

    Yeah if you take it to a radiator joint they can pressure test it and fix the leak.

    Thanks Dasic1. I'll go through the yellow pages and give the local radiator bloke a call.
     
    Darius- I have a gen 3 NA. Would your radiator be different?
