If it's copper tubing, they'll probably solder it. When doing that, you really need to have the coil open at some other point. Otherwise, the heat you put into it will heat the air in the coil and could push a pinhole in the solder.
But I'd probably write it off and get a new one. Sometimes a repaired unit starts to give problems and since you've invested money into it, you keep chasing the problems until you have more in the repaired unit than you would in a new one. And sometimes you have to give up and get a new one anyway.
