crack in radiator

So i changed the water pump out yesterday that was leaking. went with the diesilsite waterpump since it had a lifetime warranty. This morning I noticed a hairline crack at the top left corner of the radiator. System is still holding pressure. Can I JB Weld this small crack in the plastic??

You can JB Weld anything, it's just a matter of will it hold!

My son just JB Welded a crack in the metal tubing on his OBS radiator and it's still holding 2 weeks later.

BTW, you're sure it's a crack?
