I was told it can't be fixed, but I'm not sure.
Mine cracked at the coolant hose nipple and I replaced the whole thing with an all metal one.
They're more expensive, but at least they're less likely to fail.

well, if you have access to it you might be able to cover the crack with some JB weld if you can get the aluminum clean and completely dry before. Make sure to cover the entire crack........Might work.

It's worth a shot for the time being I guess
