Default Radiator weeping

I apparently have a very slow leak in the lower part of my radiator. Looks like where the lower end cap meets the core-probably a lap joint that is soldered together. I have the traditional brass/copper radiator.

I was wondering if I could put my DYI plumbing skills to work and fix it. I figure I can clean, flux and re-solder the joint easily.

Can you just use the home center version of solder?

If it gets too involved I can just take it to a radiator shop or splurge and buy a aluminum one.

Seems like a simple fix so don't want to go overboard!

Thanks
