I got myself an upgraded Setrab 34 row oil cooler from the TRUCOOL 24 row cooler. I accidentally put in the wrong fitting, a 90 degree elbow into the Setrab which takes a M22 fitting. At first it leaked right at the Setrab fitting but after I replaced the right elbow AN-10 fitting to the M22 Setrab fitting which has an oil seal...it no longer leaked from the fitting, but it now leaked from the core. I must have busted the core when i put the AN-10 fitting (Longer fitting than the Setrab M22 adaptor to AN-10 fitting) into the M22 connection. Now it's leaking from the side of the Oil cooler. I'm so bumped because I paid good money for this.

Do anyone know if I could repair it? Similar to a radiator? Perhaps welding? where would I take it to get it looked at?
