You could try and find a good mom & pop radiator repair shop and see if they can fix it. Mine had a pinhole in it & the guy soldered it up, then tested it for me, but it leaked. He didn't charge me for the repair. I ended up buying a remanufactured radiator for $90. As to boiling out, I've heard many shops don't bother anymore since it's an encumbrance on them to deal with the hazardous materials issue.
