its an aftermarket aluminum radiator, and I don't know what kind of epoxy to use to fix the leak from the overflow neck coming out of the radiator

Don't tell anyone I told you this, because it's the waaaay hokey solution - although it will probably hold.
JB Weld - it's a 2-part epoxy and the schizz is strong like Bull.

Just a thought, but depending upon how thick the filler neck is, you might want to consider taping it (1/8 NPT or ?) to accept a nipple that you could screw in.
You should be able to get just the tap for a couple dollars, plus a brass hose barb with the proper threads to attach it...
