RE: [DML] aluminum coolant pipes

I would presume that you could take the aluminum pipe to a welder shop
and they can weld it. Simple job.

Subject: [DML] aluminum coolant pipes


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
