Re: Cracked Maxwell cap

its a semi effective fix , but it will at least seal the crack if it 
just a crack and not a chunk missing....

take acetone, or denatured alcohol and clean area well,  heat up a 
butter knife or use a broad bladed soldering iron and melt the 
surrounding plastic and smear the hot plastic over the 
crack....    do not let the oil wick up into the crack while 
heating,  it will not seal properly.... best to drain a bit of the 
oil from the cap if you can open one of the fiill/drain plugs if your 
model has them.  I did this to one of my Mawells and it hasnt leaked yet...
