What do you mean by vapor leakage? Do you mean steam? If so then you have a small crack that will leak only when under pressure. Have your radiator looked at by a mechanic.

not a cracked radiator unless you know how to weld. That is also assuming the crack is on metal part of the radiator, but it sounds to me like the crack is on the plastic part way at the bottom right? I would take it to a radiator shop, not a regular shop, but a specialized radiator shop. Ask them if the radiator you have can be fixed. Show them the place it is leaking. If they say yes ask them how much would it cost if you do the removal and installation of the radiator. If it can't be repaired I would search for a replacement radiator online. I bought one for my car for much less than most shops were offering them. Good luck.
