New Radiator?

Ive been having some odd cooling system issues lately. I was trying to bleed my system today and as I was pouring new coolant into the radiator, it started leaking out of the bottom of the radiator near the bottom hose coupling. I felt around and it seemed to be coming from somewhere close to the drain plug, but it wasnt the plug, nor the hose. I also saw a green trickle coming from a small dent in the screen of the radiator itself. Should I just up and buy a new one?

I bought the Stop leak, and poured in the whole bottle idled for about 10mins then qashed down some coolant to fill, It seems like it fixed the main leak but now there is a slow drip coming from a different location.

Sure, let me see how this hold up for the next week, I would also be interested in buying your stock fans too if you are getting rid of those as well.
