Leaking inlet assembly. Can I fix without buying the new part? There’s a small crack in the underside of the plastic. Flex seal?

It's a pressure line. Replace it. And check the others.

Your problem is not a leak, it is loss of structural integrity of a part with multiple connections and that carry pressurized liquid. Replace the part

You can try a 2 part plastic epoxy to limp it along until a new one shows up

definitely not flex seal for pressure.. Maybe some slow set epoxy which has been shown to hold in engine combustion (for who knows how long lmao)... for your application and how small it is, it might last forever or might last a day.

Of you must, buy resin and cast the whole thing in a big block of resin...

Replace. Flex Seal might limp you along until the new part is delivered, but it will always be a time bomb.

You could try running a soldering iron along the well-dried crack, but a new part or second-hand from eBay probably isn't much.
