Radiator issues - SV650.org

I have sprung a leek...and not the embarrassing kind.
K4 naked btw.
Now ive had the one on there repaired and its lasted until recently when i started noticing a greeny splattering on either side of the engine casing. Its coming from either side of the rad where the core joins those side bits that the hoses go into.

Now my question was will a curvy rad fit or not as seen a few cheeper than the pointy??

or do i have other options that i just havent come across.
some quick help would be much appriceated.

Thanks Brock.

[Edit]
Just had a more thurough look...no obvious holes or cracks but its to hard to see as its tucked right in, and now its deninatly weeping and its slowly getting worse.
