[Peugeot-L] 89 505 Turbo Wagon/Found a Leak!

Whenever I park the car, it's on a level surface, and whenever I try to detect a leak, none is found. But today, I had to get a ladder from the garage and I had to park the 505 wagon on the driveway which is slanted about 10 degrees. In any case, my wife said that my car was leaking. I took a look and found continuous slow rate of leaking from around the radiator mount on the left side facing front.

Question is, do I replace the radiator or can anyone recommend a STOP LEAK. I know that I have heard from previous posts that STOP LEAKS should not be used, however, if I use it and it works for awhile, then I'll know to replace the radiator. Or should I not make the attempt, and just get a new radiator? Ideas?

(Also I built up pressure by starting the car and letting it idle for about 20 minutes. After the thermostat opened, the hoses remained cool and pliable, is this a good sign or bad sign)?
