If you can locate the leak's area down inside the fins, you might consider removing or deforming some of the fins in that area to get a clearer view of the problem area and make patching it easier.

I have to agree that it may not be worth your effort, speaking in both time and money. If you can pick up a brand new core for $20, do you really think that risking your entire computer to a questionable patch job is worth the savings?

dangit, now I'm beginning to regret buging a used heatercore. Mine doesn't leak at all, but it is kind of grubby. I'm hoping I can find some good advice about cleaning it out.
