You can't just replace the top part, you're gonna need to get a whole new radiator (I need one too). You can epoxy it or JB weld it once the fluid level is below the crack. I had a "patch" on mine for about 6 months and now I'm just driving around with it cracked. It's proabably not the best idea but the fluid doesn't seem to escape when it's below the crack (but still above the radiator coils) unless you drive it hard. I just have to check the fluid occasionally. Hope that helps,

BTW there are a lot of other threads about this.
