If its leaking from being rotted, id buy another one.
If the leak is a crack/ in the core, yes you can fix it.
You will need 95.5/ or silver, to repair the leak.
Matters were the leak is/ and how big of a leak.

Matters if you solder, id go that route, if not jb may do it also.
Either way, good luck.
