Hi there,

Thank you for the donation.

You will have to remove the radiator and pressure test the core, This may be a fatigue crack, if so it will be very hard to repair with any confidence. I would be looking at a new tank to be on the safe side, but a radiator repairer will be able to advise after looking at it first hand.
