Pinholes in Oil Return Pipe

I just received a used oil return pipe that appeared to be in decent shape, but when I removed the rust I noticed several pinholes in the pipe. How difficult would it be to repair these, and what's the best approach? I'd prefer to fix it here at home where I have a small torch. The garage where the car is located has an oxy-acetylene torch, but I won't be there until Saturday. I'm moderately skilled with both.

If a fix is impractical, I'm sure I can get another one.
 
you could braze the pinholes. lowes or home depot have the rods for a few bucks. however if you add the time and cost of rod, it may cheaper to get another one
 
The problem is, I added an oil filter kit that requires the later oil return pipe that's an inch longer than the one that was already on it. I couldn't find it at any of the parts house, but I might not have looked hard enough. But I was able to find someone with a used one of the right size. I'll check Bert's to see if they have it.
