Can you post a picture of the crack? That would help me try to answer your questions.

Yes we need a bit more info. I can tell you if I can see it. Post a photo or two of it. It depends on what and where it is.

Yes - BTW - Any kind of epoxy or resin works well in a low temp, low load situation. Permitex, Loctite, JB Weld all offer quality products. Pics would help.
