Default 2002 GC 3.8 Radiator leak

Can this leak be repaired or is a new radiator necessary?

$75 for a new one I wouldn't even bother trying.

Not a problem. Rock Auto has become my main parts source, I can get good quality, name brand parts for the same or less than cheap junk at the parts stores. The only time I use the local stores anymore is if I need it the same day.

I have the same issue on my 2003 Dodge Caravan 2.4L 4 cylinder. The leak is coming out from the top driver side corner where the plastic meets the metal. I know people have fixed radiators with J-B Weld. Can this leak be sealed? I know the radiator is around $70, but I am trying to save myself the work of removing the radiator.

Edit: I applied some J-B Weld and was able to stop the leak. Here are some pictures of the fix:
