My 542B has developed a crack in the plastic at a right angle to the threads where the nipple threads in. Is there a suitable glue or sealer that can be used to repair this, or perhaps some sort of fitting that can be adapted to rid the leak.

I guess it depends on how far the crack has gone. If it's only short, you could possibly thread it larger to cut the crack out.
It's possible you can get it plastic welded too.
You could try drilling the end of the crack and using something like selleys all clear, it's pretty good at sticking to just about anything and handling flexing from vibration, i just don't know how it will go with oil.
