Default Cracked my PS pump reservoir oops!

I was in the process of putting my BMR k member and junk block in my car to mock up my turbo piping and accidentally put a ~ 1/2" crack in the back of the plastic reservoir tank. Its really pretty chincy and thin so i imagine this is a common occurrence. Is there any quick way to fix this or am i stuck buying a new reservoir tank or new pump? Thanks for any ideas.

I'm cheap, I'd clean the hell out of it with brake cleaner, mix up some of the overnight drying JB weld, put it on, and see how that works first.
