Oh boy!
First of all, welcome to the forum. I wish you were here to tell us something good but it looks like you've made a good boo boo.....
I see under your thread that your aware that this is the heat exchanger for your 4-TEC engine. Strange it was water coming out. It should have been coolant.
If you only went through the outer plate and not all the way through, you may be able to remove it and take it in and have it welded and smoothed back out. To replace this part is pretty expensive. I looked around and didn't find one on a quick search but I'm sure I could find one. Although I've never heard of this happening or no one in the forum asking about it's replacement, I'd guess your in the range of 2 to 3 hundred.
I would say for a temp fix, you could use a bonding agent but with it part of the cooling system, I"m sure it comes under 8 to 12 pounds of pressure when hot.........
Good luck!........let us know how you come out. If you need some help in finding the part, let me know. There are parts distributers on the home page. Check them out, you may find a good deal on one..........
