this may not help - you'll have to check your radiator yourself. My 87 was a metal core with plastic tanks on each end. I got a small hole in one of the tanks and used plastic epoxy to fix it. That worked for a while until a larger hole formed. That being said, something has caused your tank to split (too much pressure) - if you fix it yourself (which is possible) replace the radiator cap as a precaution.

the broken part is too large
Too large is the broken part and
the tanks are plastic.
I will replace the tank with a copper one
