The cap to my coolant overflow tank is slightly cracked
Not critically, but, when the engine starts getting hot (normal hot) the pressure causes coolant to spray out of the crack instead of cycling back into the radiator

I used some bonding stuff to cover it up and seal it, and it held for a few months, but now its coming through the bonding material too

Anyways, im having trouble finding the specific overflow tank cap (or even new tank) I need
Any google search returns me this:
https://www.carid.com/1999-mitsubishi-eclipse-coolant-recovery-tanks/
These "L-Shaped" ones don't fit (even ordered one and tried it) as they collide with my air intake

The one I need is this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/173831195739

It sits vertically, long-wise
Unfortunately, this seller doesn't seem to have a cap, the KEY part that needs replacing

Any advice?

Thanks in advance
 
If it's only the cap that cracked you might consider getting some of this stuff to repair it. I've used it on plastics & it will not come loose over time.

That LOOKS like the stuff I used
Was putting it on with a buddy and he was saying the same thing

The only thing is NOW, the cap is covered in that crap
I could keep layering it, I suppose
But its ugly af, and id rather replace
 
Why not a aftermarket can? otherwise as listed there are some places that I bet have them. When my stock tank cracked I put a JMF one on in a more hidden location.
