Default radiator leaking

It just never ends. I have a leak about halfways up on drivers side, I can see that it runs down on the plastic tank, but can't tell exactly where it originates. Is it feasible to repair, or worth it, if it's a leak where the plastic is crimped to to the plastic tank. It only drips after parking overnight. Going to take a chance and take a 180 mile trip anyway. Is there a brand that's better for replacement? Merry Xmas.
P.S. Does it make a difference if there is an auxillary trans cooler between the radiator and condensor, for plumbing?

Yes, there is a much better radiator option - pick up an all-aluminum radiator that doesn't have those pesky plastic radiator tanks that love to leak. For more info, check out this thread:
