A stock radiator for the 94 80 is a brass core with plastic tanks. In your first pic the radiator looks like it has metal tanks, which indicates an aftermarket radiator. If so, you wouldn't have the o-ring, it would be soldered. A pressure test should show a leak in the seam.

What really bothers me about your pic is that the hose is on the wrong end of the radiator for a '94 with a 1fz motor (per your sig). Looks a lot like a 3fe setup.

The constant tension clamps suggested by wxm are available at NAPA in my area.
