KLR650 radiator leak

From a tip over i had a small leak in the radiator somewhere all the way on top. didnt notice a thing of it when i was riding on the road (mechanic didnt notice it as well...tough the little fluid that came off after the tip over was from the overflow) rode 5 more weeks with it and everything seemed fine.

while doing off road in death valley, my radiator started boiling and pising like hell, i had to refill with water every 4 or so miles.

after death valley i put stopleak(the powder) in it and i held up great along with regular water (all i had at that moment)

now,

what should i do for the next 2 months in mexico?

will the stopleak hold?
i put in wich coolant liquid?
do i put in some more stopleak when i change coolant? i have half left of it because it was for a car radiotor.

do i get it welded? think the hole is realy small, cant see it...


Thanks!,
Stijn
