I've fixed a lot of cracks in similar materials with just crazy glue (cyanoacrylate) That's how I got my dewar to stop leaking and it has pressure behind it. I think it's worth a try just do a dry run with the block out of your case just in case it does leak. It takes all of 10 minutes and could save you some $$

This is what it looks like.
It is small but i dont want to risk damaging my computer.

Does the crack reach the inlet/outlet channels?

 

[Youp]

It looks like it does.

I think it's still worth testing. A spot of crazy glue over that crack will seal it up that I'm pretty certain of. Just test it outside the case for a few hours. You could contact EK, you may be able to get a replacement fairly reasonable , just the top part I mean not the whole block. I'm pretty sure there's an EK rep that visits the site. Maybe you should change your title and add that it's an EK block

 

[Youp]

I will do that then.
Tanks!

I had the same kind of crack with another block in the past and trust me it will most likely leak.

You can open a ticket here : EK Support and explain what happened and include the picture in the ticket. They should be able to sell you a replacement top for it.
