Freshwater cooling repair

[Vinnys]

So close to completion. I noticed anti freeze in the discharge from my exhaust. I removed the heat exchanger from the engine and pressure tested the exchanger. It is leaking from fresh water side to raw water side.
I have found the aftermarket kit installed by the previous owner. To replace it alone is 600.00.
The question is can the exchanger be repaired at a radiator shop?

This is the link to the site where I found the kit. inetmarine.com/M5057-4146HeatExchangerforMFH-5057Kit.aspx

Thanks

Yeah. We have had a lot close shop due to EPA restrictions. Finding one who will work on a heat exchanger is tough.
