A pea sized hole would need to be soldered up.
Stop leak likely won't fix.
Any rad shop could do it, but unless it is from a .22 rifle, I believe you need a re-core job since it may only be the tip of the iceberg, as it were.

Any idea how much a shop would charge about to do that?
I was going to ask the same question but mine is a 1/4" crack on the top that spits fluid out in small amounts. Im a ebay freak and saw 3 core radiators for $209 and if there is a cheaper easier way of keeping mine till I get money it would be nice. Also don't they do a thing called radiator brazing for holes that big?
