If it's leaking salt water, it's probably also leaking exhaust gases
including CO. I'd sure replace it. Also, if you agreed to fix the things on
the survey report for the insurance company, not doing so can render your
policy useless. It won't matter whether the muffler was at fault if
something else happens, but they can deny coverage. You could patch it for
awhile by wrapping it with resin impregnated fiberglass.
