Default Pin Size hole In Koyo Radiator???

can it be fixed or welded??? i was installing my new manifold and i look and it theres cooling come out. In the same way as if u bought a new fish from the pet store and u know how they put them in those plastic bags with water. well put a needle into it and thats about how much came out. I wasnt GUSHING out or anything. It did that for about 5 mins then slowed down then stopped. I just bought this like 2 months ago and im really not trying to spend another 300 for one of these. Its right in the middle of the radiator in the fins.

any help would be greatly appreciated


i need this fixed asap

started it up today, let it build pressure. No leaks, a tiny bit of steam but then it cleared up and never came back. Drove it around and came back, no leaks or anything. seems to be holding up well

thanks everyone
