Gray water tank leak

This 4th of July weekend I discovered a leak in my gray water tank, the leak appears to be a stress fracture above the discharge valve. What options do I have to seal this leak??

thanks..

Is it leaking at the valve? The blade slips between 2 seals. I had a seal that moved when bolted together at factory and it leaked. I've also seen PVC cement run into the valve. Have not seen anything like a stress crack... pictures??

I used a marine epoxy putty on a split i found on our grey water pipe. the split was near a 45 degree elbow above the drain valve. I am guessing it still had water in it that froze last winter, although I poured rv anti freeze down all drains before winter. The putty worked, but last time we camped, i found a small leak just above that repaired area. Its small enough i could probably spray some undercoating on it.

I'm wondering if silicone sealant would work on my 1/2 inch crack which is located just above the 3" drain connector. I contacted the manufacture of the tank, INCA Plastic Molding company and they advised me that a replacement tank would be around 280.00 but I'm sure it's not going to be an easy task to remove the old tank.

So, youre saying the crack is on the tank itself? Take a look at this article:
