Default can i fix a plastic radiator???

ok i have a crack thats forming right next to my radiator cap neck on the top tank and was wondering if there is anything glue/gel/goo whatever that i can put on it to seal it up? you sort of like a JB weld for plastic??

yeah just the standard JB weld should do the trick. just make sure to rough up the surface with sandpaper so that the JB weld has something to "bite" into.
