better just get the top tank fixed, it'll just leak again most likely. Costs like $220 to have done

it's 'hole' not 'whole'

Where is this hole? Sure it isn't a crack?

I'm not sure if the prelude top tank is plastic or metal but you can get something to patch it up.

I'd look at replacing the top tank as a longer term solution though

Yeh is metal

and have other cash priorities so what can fix it atleast temporarily...like for a month or 2

and silicon doesnt cut it

and yeh hole
