Default Radiator help

Sorry not Vette related. My grand cherokee has developed a leak in one of the plastic pieces that the hoses attach to. It is just a pin hole at this point. Any way or repairing or just replace before the whole thing gives out?

Normally plastic radiators are not repairable if thats where the leak is. I have replaced radiators in both my older model GCs.
JB weld does make a special plastic bonder though....

For more help, Google or www.jeepforum.com are great!

Thanks for the link to the jeep forum, haven't visited it before. Most of the others seem to be focused on building monster jeeps not helping with weekend maintenance. Everyone agrees, replace it. Pretty much what I thought, but there have been some real creative fixes posted here, thought I should ask.
