steel water pipes.

steel water pipes.
hi.
my 1999 2.0l rover diesel freelander has just lost all its coolant!! (what a suprise!!). I have found two small holes in the steel water pipes that run over the gearbox. Does anyone know if you can buy these as a pattern part, or is it down to the main stealer for a ridiculous quote!!
i also thought of repalcing them with copper... has anyone done this before and succeeded (or failed)?
thanks
chris

i went ahead and made them out of copper. all seems to be working fine so far. ill keep you posted of any problems but at least i wont be suffering from rusty pipes again!!
also to make it easier to make and fit the new pipes i removed the inlet and exhaust manifold( with turbo attached). this made bending and checking the pipes much easier!!
