If the crack hasn"t spread past the ends of the weld and it really is a pinhole or two the you can repair it with solder. Clean up the area with a wire wheel, use a rosebud tip to warm it up, then flux and lay some solder over the spot. Auto body lead works best but 50/50 plumbing solder will work too. I had an 8 inch crack in the side of a 335 Cummins that was done like this and lasted the 10 years we had it. HTH Jf

P.S. I showed the crack to the new owner and he still bought the truck.
