I would plan on getting a new radiator. Rust with water leaking from it is a pretty good sign that your radiator is just about done.

My rad cracked at the top about a week ago (crappy plastic) I now have to fill it with water 2 times a day. I got a new 2" thick all aluminum rad in the mail. No more plastic=no more cracks
