Default Small Leak in Kooks LT's

I found a pinhole leak in the weld where the primary butts up to the collector. It is near the crotch of where the bottom two primaries meet the collector. My question is what is the best way to fix this joker? High temperature epoxy, liquid steel, or welding a new bead. Keep in mind these are stainless.

Resident gurus please advise.

Thanks for the reply Mike.

So you think a local muffler shop can lay a new bead? I am just a little concerned since this is stainless, and most muffers shops do not work with this kind of material.

I don't want to compound the problem any further.
