Radiator overflow reservoir

My overflow reservoir seems to be leaking and probably has a crack in it being that it is 30 years old.  Does anyone know where I can find one of these?  So far we have not been able to locate one.  We thought the engine was overheating and installed an after market temp guage and then realized the engine temp was okay and found it to be the overflow reservoir.

I can think of two, I would watch ebay and I would use an internet used auto parts search engine. Google your Dodge van overflow bottle and follow the links.

If purchasing a replacement fails you might try this. I have repaired plastic using this and it seems to work pretty well. Go to a good sporting goods store and look for the rod repair epoxy. It comes in two bottles. Mix it well according to instruction and apply with a small fine bristle brush. This repair epoxy is flexable yet very strong. Just a suggestion.

Good tip, my washer bottle is cracked near the top and I have been watching for one over a year now. I think I will try it this week

wrecking yard.....but I must say - old dodges are slowly going away.I've only had my Clipper 11 years, and I make regular trips to my wrecking yard alley in Moss Landing - and there are fewer and fewer dodge vans of our vintage- so if you see one - strip it for all it's worth before they send it to scrap.
