There is no real good way to seal it. If its a crack you may be
able to put some epoxy on the crack. You would need to remove
the tank and dry it before the repair. If the tank is a pressurized tank
it wont work.

I do belive it is because coolant leaks out the crack. and we’ve tried gorilla glue, gorilla tape, gorilla tape over the gorilla glue. I think I can try going to a salvage yard and get a used tank there. because there $105.00 at autozone. and we don’t have that much money. woiuld u suggest that?

Yes.

Might try a product called shoe goo.

Stuff is amazing.
Just need to clean the surface well inside and out and perhaps sand the outside a bit before applying

Good thinking, nightflyr – really is great stuff, and the manufacturer has in fact tested it against antifreeze:
