2003 header tank

Looking for a header tank for my 03 blob wrx. Anyone have any ideas? And also does anyone have any ideas why it would start leaking, car has been sat inside for a few months. Last started 3 weeks ago, and when I started her today it was leaking water from where the neck of the header tank hole meets the tank itself?? Never done this before! Cheeeeers

They're only steel. Probably rusted from the inside out.
Get it welded.
Top half is a pressed and braised steel plate. Bottom is cast aluminium.
