    Small Leak in Heat Exchanger, Can It Be Repaired?

    A couple days ago I noticed my intercooler reservoir was empty. I thought I had a crack in the reservoir but tonight I found out it's leaking from the fins on the back of the heat exchanger. I also have a big dent in the front from a rock. Does anyone know if this can be fixed or will I have to buy a new one?

    It should be replaced but you could try and band aid the problem with some stop leak.

    Take it to a rad shop and get it repaired/welded.

    There is a good rad shop in Bethel Park that I used before and was happy with.

    Thanks for the help everyone. I took it to a radiator shop by my house and got the leak fixed.

    If anyone has the heat exchanger brackets PM me, mine are rusted/bent and I want ones in better shape.
