Subject:Heater core repair

Has anyone had any luck repairing the front heater core on a water cooled
Vanagon?

I am seeing some small weeping between the plastic end caps and the aluminum
core.  My guess is that there is some type of sealer between the two, and
that is what is going.

Can the ends be removed?  What is the sealer made out of, or what could
repair it?  Sounds like UltraCopper time to me.

Advice???
