IDK About repairing that

I Bet it can be repaired However its a High risk deal IMO Cause if it does start t leak again you may Lose Coolant (How Fast IDK) but there is No Coolant Leval sensor so if you did lose coolant say a long drive or Big Leak you might not catch onto it till it Turn Catastropic Failure

If you do pull Front cover it would be a Great time to Upgrade to a Metal/Aluminum Impellar water pump if you have Plastic impellar Now

no TIG. I am going to try JB weld. It is just a small seap at the moment. Or I could always try stop leak.

No matter how you repair it don't use stop leak. You don't want that crap going thru your oil cooler. They are sensitive enough with out helping them to plug up.

the smiley did not show up. I was joking about stop leak. I bet it would kill the oil cooler in a heart beat!
