got a wobbly spigot !

[Peterr]

Hi Folks,
88 300e auto
Found the leak from my rad is a loose pipe or spigot, on the top of the rad that the small hose which runs along the top of the rad, is attached to.
It just wiggles out and is obviously where the water has been leaking out from.
Whats the best way to fix it can it be glued if so which glue.
Thanks for your help
Peter

Is the header tank plastic or copper.

The header tank will be plastic and its quite common for the small pipe to become free. I have repaired these using araldite in the past with no detrimental effects.
