Default radiator leak poor toyota quality?

Hey guys, check out these images of my leaky radiator. The leak is very very minor at this point. I have notice this minor leak right at 36k miles, now the odometer is at 40k miles. The engine is completely stock right now.

Anyone else out there has a leaky radiator too?

anyone know if the radiator would still be cover under warranty? I know the bumper to bumper warranty is up, but the powertrain warranty is suppose to be up to 48k miles. I'll give the dealer a call today.

powertrain is actually 60k miles. as for it being under your warranty...thats a stretch. why not just do the easy fix and crack an egg white in there?

i have seen that exact same leak before. For the price toyota wants for the radiator you might as well get a toyo or some other aftermarket brand radiator. By the way stop leak on these radiators doesnt do so well. Been there done that.
