I have a hairline crack in the top of the radiator about 1 inch long. Since the top is plastic, is there any way to patch it without having to replace the entire radiator?

You can try an epoxy like JB weld. Make sure the area is dry (you may have to drain some coolant).

If it doesn't work, you are only out $5-10 bucks.

You can take the radiator and have it repaired for $60 or so, or get a new one for $120ish.
