Would brazing a small pinhole on the cylinder be possible as a fix in theory?

You might have better luck using JB weld.

Looks a little rough but for my first braze it looks like its holding I can stab at it with a screwdriver and it's not moving at all you can see where it actually flowed into the hole and left a little roundish ball at the end of the port i added the aluminum from the outside so hopefully it flowing in like that means it's in there
