..of a trans housing leak as a result of a prior welding repair made years ago. The repair of a punched hole was apparently made with aluminum weld material, and has developed a leak at the welded patch. My mechanic's welder is having trouble finding magnesium welding rods to properly make the repair now, can any of you suggest a source for these mag rods? This info is way above my pay grade when it comes to welding! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

I get mine from Grainger, stores are everywhere. Not the cheapest but always available.
Pretty easy metal to weld. Does need an argon blanket on the back side of the weld.
