if the plastic is cracked you need to replace it, fortunately you can go to AdvanceAuto online and order one and likely pick it up in store, and if you add 1 more thing that cost atleast $3.01 use can use the promo code WD18 (expires 5-3-14) to knock 50 bucks off the price and be out the door for 75 bucks plus tax (more if the second item cost more the $3.01).

If you can remove the radiator yourself.....usually a radiator shop will replace that entire plastic tank on that side for $30-$40........that's what it cost around here.
