Tapped or soldered in rad connector?

Seems I have a leak at the lower radiator connection, just happy that I read a thread where someone mentioned using just water for break-in, so no coolant all over the place.

It doesn't look like the connector was soldered in and for some reason I remember somebody saying something about it being just tapped in. Should I pull it and solder? Tap it in? Pull it and take it in for repair?

Any that I've worked on have been soldered. If you clean the paint off you should be able to see the solder.

Clean all the paint off with a wire brush & sandpaper, flux it and solder it.
