cracked oil cooler!

my oil cooler is cracked on my 1990 rx7. it is cracked on the side with the little drain plug with the spring and bypass valve thing. what is the plug. also i've read that you can have a cracked oil cooler repaired by a radiator shop. but could they fix it when the crack is in the threads because the pre-previous owner over torqued the plug.
thanx
