Re: 94 z28 coolant sensor leaking??help

Best thing to do is replace the radiator, but I would try to repair the crack (I can be cheap as heck;-). Sand the plastic at the crack inside and outside. Use some two-part epoxy on the inside and outside of the neck and put a screw-type hose clamp around it to allow it to set tight. Leave the hose clamp there forever. Never done this myself, but might work.

If the tank is cracked, a repair is going to be iffy. The system relief pressure is 18 psi, which is pretty high. If it is the original radiator, it is near time for replacement anyway. The plastic tanks don't last forever.
