Voltage in radiator water

You will always have "some" voltage in it. I think the .3 you have is fine. GM dexcool use to have a big problem, like 7-8 volts, that's where all the gunk would come from. They fixed that with a new formula. I've had to put a ground wire on heater cores before because the voltage would eat the aluminum. You can run a ground wire from radiator to frame. It will help a lot but I would not be concerned myself with that low of a reading.
