They can sometimes be soldered. Go see a radiator place, they will point you in the right direction.

Radiators are cheap. I wouldn't trust on a repair for such a motor like yours.

what is cheap, mine is a tripple core half radiator, its not just a half one, might invest in aluminium later

Yours is a overkill. Dual core more then enough. Can pick one up for $100.

Crack an egg in it. It really works (v. mythbusters)

Egg and pepper is only a temporary fix, but yeah it works in an emergency if the hole is not too big.
