Is there anything I can use to patch over area of the coolant reservoir that is cracked and therefore leaking fluid? Superglue and other epoxies won't hold because the reservoir is hard plastic polypropylene.
Would Bondo adhere to this?

Hi there,

there is no real solution to this crack, as the tank heats up and expands, the crack will keep flexing and break any sealed joint you may have achieved. Replace the tank, that is the only way to fix this problem.
