I'm gonna say def. replace, and not repair. Header-to-tube leaks (what you are describing) are not the strongest or easiest area to repair, and think about why it leaked...the metal corroded through. If that area is corroded, then so are others. No reason to pay OEM prices here, as the aftermarket ones work well and are almost half the price.
