You should try to find out if you can repair it yourself. Most radiator problems are the result of impacts from road debris. If this is the case you may be able to repair it simply by yourself. You certainly don't want to delay. Repairing a radiator is simple and inexpensive. Not repairing it could lead to great trouble and expense.

How much should it cost to fix a Filler neck on a 1999 subaru?

If you mean the filler neck on the radiator, that requires replacement of the plastic tank on the radiator. If you have a mechanic pull the rediator and a radiator shop replace the tank with a new one and then put the repaired radiator into the car, it should cost about $225.00. That's $25 for the tank and gasket and the rest is labor. If you were to remove the radiator and take it to a radiator shop yourself and they fixed it and gave it back to you, expecting you to put it back in the car, that should cost about $80.00. Prices are approximate and these are what a shop in Florida charges.
