Hmmm. I wonder if someone let the rear of the engine down too far when doing the clutch and forgot about the stress on the radiator neck. I usually just unbolt the radiator and let it twist down with the engine.

Anyway, if you do choose to solder it yourself just make sure the surfaces are VERY clean. Yes use soldering paste and I would suggest 50/50 (lead / tin) solder since it has a lower melting point than "lead free". I found it easier to use on old radiators with their thin walls. Because the walls are thin, you won't need as much heat.

This has worked for me.
