take the resevoir out and completely clean it as much as possible, then just dab some plastic epoxy over the crack and let cure. Hope this helps!

Make sure you have all the oil off the surface. Use an epoxy that is "not clear", use the heavy gray kind, Jbweld is good, I like Devcon better. I slightly rough the surface with sandpaper to give grip. Give it plenty of time to cure before use. A nice thick coat is stronger than thin.
