If it is a surface leak that you can get to, sand it to the metal which is actually copper, make sure it is dry, use flux, apply some, this cleans the metal, heat the surface first, but not glowing, apply the acid core solder, let it cool. If it is in the vertical tubes, it is tougher, but worth the try, Good luck

#1........use real Solder..or
#2..use "J-B Weld" available at Hardware and Auto stores..
Both do a Great job..but I always rely on a real Solder job as your fixing brass with "Hot Metal" which is about as permanent as "New"
With soldier and a torch. Just melt some soldier over where the leak is.
A torch and bronze rod. But, if you haven't done it before get somebody to show you or you'll have bigger leak.
Dont use instant weld, you need to braze it
solder or lead
