Whether it is the elbow on the back of the head or the pipe down the 
side behind the water pump, they should both be replaceable.  What looks 
like weld might just be rust.  (which pipe is it?)

Try looking at the coupe/4k parts for the earlier engines (WE, JT), they 
should be the same or very similar.
