Is it a new exchanger with warranty and a nice neat hole? Or is it 16 years old and the hole was made with light pressure on the tube from 1 finger on the first bend after the burners? Either way - replace it...

I haven't seen this units with stainless. Aluminized steel, yes. My bet is its a min-90s sunline.

Serious liability patching heat exchangers. Anything happens any time down the line with carbon monoxide guess who they are coming after? Never chance patching one just replace it. I know it sucks because you damn near have to pull the entire unit apart if it's one of the bigger models, but it is the right way to do it.
