Radiator question, please help

RE: Radiator question, please help
I havent had time to pull the front end apart yet to take a better look at the now-seeming-to-be-ghost-crack. After the local radiator shop wanted almost 500 bucks to take it apart and put an entirely new radiator in (230 for the 4.5 hours' labor to pull it apart and then if the crack wasnt patchable, another hour's labor and 200 for the new radiator), I poked my head under the fender and got a visual of where exactly the moisture was on the fan housing, wiped it off and then checked it everyday for the next 4 or 5 days and it stayed dry, even though the outside temperature was about 95 degrees all 5 of those days and every time I looked at it after driving it for a while, there was no moisture in that area so I dont know if there really is a leak or not (hopefully there isnt and that was just some random overflow thing from one of the drain valves that is on the side of the radiator) but my cousin is supposed to contact me monday to set up a time to work on it, unfortunately I'm going out of town for the 4th of july weekend so it wont be til the next weekend that I'd be able to work on it more, but until then, things seem to have mellowed out with it and the way I see it, if there is indeed that small pinhole in there, if its small enough to have not leaked a significant amount in the last 5 days to make it moist again since I wiped it dry, then the JB weld should work perfectly to patch it up.
