The well guy said he never "fixes" leaking water tanks. Said it's like
fixing a radiator on a car. Plug one spot and the hole opens up somewhere
else.
Sounds to me like he is incompetent. The only radiator I ever fixed, stayed
fixed.

That a pretty small sample.

Ok, how about this? I've had HUNDREDS of radiators repaired over the
last 30+ years and not a one of them ever developed a leak in another spot.

Ok, how about this? If they sprang the leaks you repaired at an
advanced age, due to corrosion rather than physical damage from
something hitting them, you are either mistaken or lying.

if the 'advanced age' or corrosion were a problem, then any *GOOD*
radiator man would not repair it. And mine doesn't. He'll recommend a
new core at about half the price of a new radiator.
