First figure out where you are leaking from. Are you sure it's the radiator and not one of the hoses?
If it's a hose: simple and cheap.
If it's the radiator you might be able to patch it. I've used J.B.Weld successfully before. Or it's time for a new, or junk yard radiator.

If its a hose itll be a couple bucks a foot.

Thermostat will run you 3-4 bucks plus a couple bucks for some RTV. If thats the prob.

Radiator will will run you just over 100 new if you install it yourself.

Then you need a couple gallons of coolant. Prolly 10 bucks or so.

Get a cooling system pressure tester to check where the leak is.

we looked at it and a neighboor decided it was the thermostat
