    With the plastic that the side tanks are made from you won't get any glues or epoxies to stick permanently. If it is just inside of the mount pin you could carefully use an appropriately sized tap and thread it and install a bolt coated in epoxy and "maybe" have some success. You could even add an appropriately sized O-ring on the bolt to try to help seal it up. Unfortunately, if this is the tank cracking which is the most likely cause, while this might slow it down for a little bit, the tank will more than likely continue to crack which will require the radiator to be replaced.

    Hi, thank you very much for the detailed possible steps to take and explanation. It radiator tank was replaced slightly just more than a year ago and ran less than 15K Km. I guess the workshop did not do a good job.

    Check with the shop, they may have a warranty on the tank.
