Default Drill vs. condensor / Drill won

I was installing a bigger trans cooler today and didnt want to use the zip ties so I fabbed up some mounting brackets. Well, I was drilling the last hole through a mounting bracket and into some metal near the hood release and when the bit broke through the last bit of metal, it slammed into and through the condensor I now have this hissing noise coming from the hole in the condensor. Does this mean the condensor is shot, can it be patched?

You could probably have it TIG welded, however, you may be money and time ahead to buy a new one. A radiator shop may be able to fix it for you.
