coolant leak from line coming out of the block...

I have a coolant leak from the left side of my engine, where the coolant comes out of the engine block and goes into the oil cooler(I guess that's the direction of the flow). Anyway, the coolant sprays from the front if the joint of the coolant line and the engine block. here are pics:

The pic of the actual site of the leak is the last pic on the page(only 5 pics).

What is the best way to handle this? I thought about removing the pipe and tapping it out and threading in a new pipe, but maybe it would be better to see if a radiator shop could braze it.

What would you do?
Thanks, Jimmy

P.S.
There are more pics of the car on index.html if you want to see. I'm still in the process of rebuilding it, I hope to have it on the road in 2 weeks, and painted by the end of Feb.
