the part of the radiator im point to in the pic is leaking coolant through a pin sized hole. It looks like the metal that runs on the bottom of the radiator has broken off causing the leak. Is this fixable? what would it require?

At checker auto, they sell a radiator repair kit. In it is a fiberglass patch, some sand paper, a sealer and catylist and a brush. You sand around the leak/hole, then cut a piece of fiberglass patch to size, then mix the sealer and the catylist together, brush it on, and let it harden. it worked good for me.

Also, i think there is a additive you can put in your system that will fix leaks. Not sure of how well it works though.

Ya buy a new one. around $150.00 and it should last like a hundres thousand miles. :goodluck:

before i buy a new radiator, would it be possable to solder the leak shut since its very small or no? if i can fix it for free rather than spend 150$ that would be great.

Call a radiator shop! The braze or solder stuff like that all the time.

Or save the Ass Ache and get a new/used one.
