Just JB weld it back on, it’s only a coolant overflow.
Anybody who tells you different doesn’t know what they’re doing.
If it was me I’d put a sleeve inside and join the broken pieces together with epoxy or something similar, then just epoxy or JB weld the crack.
It’s not under any pressure, it’s simply a coolant overflow,
You could leave it as it is now and it would operate fine if you kept your coolant levels up. EPA might not be happy about the coolant you’re dumping on the road though.
Honestly if it was my vehicle ( and yea I’m a mechanic) I would patch it up until such time as I needed a radiator, which could be years.
Just so you know vehicles used to just run this hose to the ground,
Use a piece of brake line that fits in the hole with a bit of epoxy on that. It will both seal and reinforce the broken piece. Or just go the old school route and just send it, though this radiator doesnt have the upper tank volume with that in mind.
Exactly just glue a metal pipe in, use a drill to make sure you didn’t block off the pipe once the glue has set then glue the broken piece back on over the pipe.
Use it until the radiator cracks or you have money to buy a new radiator

Does an inner sleeve restrict flow too much, overlow or not? Finding an exact tight tube that’s thin would be too much of a time waste.
It’s definitely under pressure i had the same issue and when it bust it started pouring steam out
It’s not under pressure. Sounds like your car overheated.
