I take it this is a plastic tanked rad, if so I haven’t found anything that you could call a permanent repair.
Heat and time deteriorates the plastic, I’ve seen them so bad that you can crumble the plastic in your hands.
Your best bet is to just replace the rad and be done with it.

The days of repairing radiators seems to be over. I gave up on it as the new ones are so close in price to the good old repair shops that did this that it wasn't worth the hassle. They now crimp on the plastic ends?? I don't even own a tool for that!
It's a waste. The days of taking a radiator to a shop that just did that and heaters and others things seems to have passed. I know of NO sealer that I would count on for the repair. T
