Default Radiator replacement questions

my 00's radiator is spewing coolant all over in the engine bay from the top of the radiator. That means my radiator is pretty much done right? It's got 135k on it so I'm not surprised.

Any recommendations for replacement radiators that are better than OEM and that I can access with the next 3 days? looks like OEM radiator is $370 + tax.

I will also need some instructions to do the install myself. I searched the forum but I'm surprised not to find radiator install instructions. It's not on the DIY list either.

Any info greatly appreciated

thanks

I will need to drive this car until the new radiator comes in. I have to get around so I top off the overflow at each destination if it needs it, keep the heater on and I keep a close eye on the temp guage. Or am I a fool to have it on the road at all with an obvious leak?
