Intercooler repair

I pressure tested my truck today and found a fair size leak on a welded seal on the intercooler, could a guy go redneck on that thing and use some JB weld? Anybody got other ideas, it is in a spot I don't have to remove it from the truck thankfully. Also should the intake compressor have large leaks around the bolts and sealing area on the back of the turbine housing? I had never checked that spot for leaks before, but I found alot!

I don't think you should have any leaks in an air compressor.

JB Weld should hold. That's how I fixed my friends a/c condenser. Been holding good for almost a year now. And that's at 300 psi.
