if you don't want to have it flanged, you could try a cheap fix with the band clamp. Take aluminum foil, wrap the pipe connection and then re-install the band clamp...I have seen this fix several leaks of this nature.

What style band clamps do you have now? I've had great luck on a couple cars with Walker stainless band clamps. Try the lap-joint style and I'm sure you'll be okay unless the pipes have already been deformed.
Good luck
