I noticed a leak on the pipe on the left (drivers) side of the engine in
my van.  This is a large pipe that runs from the thermostat housing back
around the left side of the engine.  There's a "tee" in it (more like a
wye), where a smaller tube runs off to I believe the under-seat rear
heat exchanger.

Anyway -- I have a pinhole leak at that junction, and it looks like it's
either been welded or brazed already -- poorly.  There is a huge globby
pile of filler metal surrounding the joint, and there's a drop of
coolant clinging to the pipe at that location.

My plan is, when I next change coolant, to remove that pipe and either
try to make a better repair, or just replace it.  Anyone happen to have
one in good condition?
