Intercooler leak

Any solutions other than just buying a new intercooler. Funny because i was cashing in on a free oil change i had today when the mechanic noticed the leak. Estimated it as a $500 part to fix it. HAHAHA. Ebay says $90...

if you dont have a noticable H/E in the front its probally the stock one..it is located between the AC radiator and coolant radiator..i would say buy an aftermarket FMIC (front mount intercooler) and then just dont use the stock one!!

EDIT: dont buy a cheap ebay one eithor you will want quality so that doesnt happen again

if its aftermarket it will be a front mount like a intercooler on a turdbo car. if there is just your radiotor you see then its stock. that being said i have NEVER heard of a stock h/e being cracked unless it was in a NICE front collision. if anything go to our vendor ZZP Performance. Pick up a stage 1,2, or 3 h/e put it on. bypass the stock h/e entirely and call it a day. it will cost you 250 bucks TOPS thats if you get someone to put it on for you. but there is no need for that because zzp sends you instructions that is so easy even a caveman can do it. i'll grab the link for you actually so you dont even have to search.
