Anyone ever have their Valk radiator welded. Got a small crack seeping. I suppose it is alumn. Its not in the core. Is on one side at pod bracket.Would having it welded do the job? Also any new radiators still avaible?

It looks like new radiators are still available.  HDL wants $516.06 for a radiator to fit a 2001 Standard.  Did not check other models.

Never had a radiator done for a Valk, but I have for cars with aluminum radiators. A good radiator shop should be able to weld (braise?) it and pressure check it. Be sure the shop does a pressure check. The ones I have had fixed have never failed again. Just don't put stop leak additive in it. Some do work, but almost all reduce cooling properties.
