When using PVC glue, you are essentially "melting" the plastics together and when it cures, it forms a solid piece.
Be sure if you try anything, to make sure that the glue you use is wet applications and you will need to shut your pump off for a bit to relieve pressure from the line to give the glue ample time to cure.

Here is the information link to Rain-R-Shine PVC Cement: http://www.oatey.com/Channel/Shared/...ue_Cement.html
So you think the marine epoxy would stick to the PVC well as long as I can support it with a hose clamp?

BTW, just for clarification, there's no water squirting out, just a very, very slow drip. I only noticed it because the concrete pad underneath was a little wet. Even then it took me awhile to find the small crack in the collar.
