Default GS430 radiator leak/ replacement input?

Well is time after 16x,xxx miles..
Radiator started leaking from the bottom..

I went thru couple threads but i couldnt really find a aftermarket replacement that doesnt need a lot of modification..

The last i read was that the fluidyne fits pretty well..

Any input if i should go just OE replacement or take the hit on a fluidyne, Koyo, tranny coolers and custom brackets?

OE replacement is still gonna run 2xx close to 300..

Thanks in advance.
