heater matrix leak

yoo guys,,
ok i keep springing a leak from the heater matirx,,,,ive had it out from the car twice (dashboad removal)
basically where the plastic end tanks are glued on,,,it leaks out of a tiny crack,, iive tried to glue and now ive tried fibre glass resin,,,but after a couple of weeks its leaking again..

there must be a glue or some way of repairing as the crack is so small,,,
any ideas,,,,or do i buy a new one from mazda?
