Walking past my water butt today, I noticed a wet patch on the ground,

investigation shows that there is a crack close to, but separate from
the drain valve. Is this likely to be fixable (it is made of an unknown
type of plastic), or is it RIP water butt ?

If it's polythene, forget it - nothing glues that.

If you had some ABS/PVC pipe jointing solvent cement, see if a drop of
that eats into the plastic. If so, you might be able to cement a piece
over the crack.
