yeah... its not brass.. Aluminum.. I know because I had to scrape off the black paint and rough it up to apply the JB weld... it will work for now until I can get it brazed... its a really small hole near a seam so it should be no problem to fix.

Question... is this something I could do myself with a small torch and brazing wire from Home Depot..? I've brazed small stuff before and its not difficult so maybe I could do this myself.

Yup, you can do this yourself if you've got the stuff. Otherwise a radiator shop or welding shop could do it in about 5 minutes. The one here charged $10 last time to do it for me.
