If the plastic is ABS plastic which it usually is in foreign cars, there is a good chance you can get "thin" ABS glue that you can soak into the crack then clamp it. The glue softens the plastic and it readheres to the adjacent plastic.I'll test out the glue on my radiator ends and let you know if it is ABS plastic. If it's not ABS, then you might want to try a patch using some high temp RTV, a flexible patch of metal or plastic and a hose clamp.Sounds like the bleeder has been overtightened and that has caused a stress fracture. How much is a new radiator? Can a new plastic radiator end be installed aftermarket?
