Radiator Problem

[dl19]

I have a 03 with 200k. The radiator has a leak near the upper hose, and it appears to be a corrossion leak. I have tightened the hose as tight as I can and it still leaks. It leaks enough that I have to do something instead of keep adding antifreeze. I was wondering if I should just get a used radiator from the wrecking yard, or a aftermarket, or can it be repaired. I am keeping this rig for a long time (hunting rig), but don't have the money to buy a new factory radiator. Any comments suggestions would be appreciated.

Since you are saying it's corroded then I assume that the 2003 also has a brass OEM radiator like the older 4-Runners/pickups therefore you can get a radiator shop or your local community college to solder the tiny hole.
