Here is advice:
- Sorry friend but a repair on a heater coil is just about as much work as replacing it. Your best bet is to get a second hand one and just change it. If you attempt to fix the old one it will probably leak from another place. One thing that you can do is buy a bottle of stop leak if the leak is not too big.
- Forget a second hand one by getting a second hand one you could be in the same boat as you were before you started the job. Go out buy a new one and be done with it. They are usually not to expensive and some places guarntee them for a lifetime. I just paid 23 dollars for mine lifetime warranty. Oh yeah that warranty does not include labor if it goes out again.
- Forget the second hand one. replace it with a new one. it is not a big or difficult job

It is inside the heating A/C housing. The dash has to come out to get to it. A very involved repair. Even the most experienced master mechanics cringe at having to do a heater core repair.
