I used JB Weld on my radiator, lasted until the car came apart for
repainting. I also used some spray sealer I got from NAPA for those pin
holes that develop on the top seam of the filler neck.
I was told that these cracks are from the downward force that is applied
when removing and replacing the filler cap, so I am always careful to
support the bottom of the neck with one hand when I take the cap off or put
it back on.
