Other than the reasons that Swedecar mentioned - that this is just a symptom of a bunch of other failures waiting to happen, repairs don't work here.
First, the polyethelene used just doesn't like epoxy. Chemically, it's pretty similar to Crisco that's solid when warm. Some folks have had luck with some specialized marine epoxies on the windshield washer reservoir.
However, the windshield washer reservoir isn't under pressure. When warm, the coolant system is pressurized. So not only are you trying to stick epoxy to what amounts to stiff grease, the pressure of the system is trying to push it out every time you run the car.
