Default Fixing a pool Solar Panel

I have a leak in one of my solar panels for my pool. *While I will

of caulking would get blown out pretty fast... *The panels themselves
are pretty old (I would estimate around 12+ years), so I'm not sure
what will adhere to them. *If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear
them.

I repaired my auto radiators plastic top 5 years ago with epoxy its
under 16lb, 190-200f or so pressure and heat. Fish tanks are under
pressure and held together with silicone adhesive. Auto parts stores
sell a varity of silicone sealants by maybe Dow. Expoxy may be best
but a fitting may just be loose after 12 years. Key is a clean surface
for a good bond for whatever you use.
