Replace it not too expansive. You can drain the Rad dry and sand the cracked area and put eproxy on it. The only way to fix it right is replace with a new one. Koyo or Modin perffered.

thanks, but if i have to replace it , then is there any way i can do it myself or i have to go to mechanics?

Is pretty simple to replace it.
Drain coolant
Remove top blots holing the Radiator.
Remove top and bottom Rad hose.
Unscrew holding the Fan shroud.
Slide Rad out .
Where you are at make sure you mix your coolant and fill and make sure no bubble in system.

That's why I don't asnwer this question, because it will be a long one. The hardest part is getting the fan shroud out of the way and slide the radiator out.

Anyway, welcome to CL
