aluminum coolant pipes

[billsfanmd@xxxx]

I have a very small leak on my passenger side coolant pipe at the rubber 
"elbow" under the engine where it begins to lead up toward the resevoir tank. 
It is the 16 inch aluminum coolant pipe pipe and not the rubber hose. I had 
some corrosion on the ends and it appears there must be a small pinhole crack 
in the aluminum near the end. If this was at any other spot I would just cut 
a longer rubber hose and clamp past the hole. Unfortunatly, it is near the 
special elbow hose. I may just buy another coolant pipe but I was just 
wondering if there was an easy fix for small holes or corrosion cracks in 
these pipes...

thanks
