Many homes these days are using some plastic piping, cpvc or equivelent. I, myself, prefer copper tubing. as for the radiator I can't help you on that. FIRST CHECK YOU LOCAL AND STATE CODES
On my 91 it is metal (copper, or an alloy I believe?), although I have never heard of a plastic radiator.

Heating up leftovers in plastic containers can be harmful as the chemicals in the plastic can leach into the food. It is safer to transfer the food to a microwave-safe glass or ceramic container before reheating.
Fire can burn off oil and dust from plastic bottles by heating the contaminants until they are vaporized or charred, allowing them to be wiped or washed away once cooled. However, this method can be dangerous and should only be done with extreme caution in a controlled environment to prevent melting or damaging the plastic bottle. It is generally not recommended due to safety concerns and the risk of releasing harmful fumes.
Thermostat stuck closed, bad water pump, clogged radiator, defective radiator cap.
It is very possible that the plastic urn will leach BPA's. There is currently huge concerns in the USA over plastic feeding bottles leaching BPA's when heated, it is claimed that the leaching rises 55 times it normal levels when heated.
check carefully for thin cracks on the radiator tanks(side plastic covers on radiator)you probably have to remove the radiator to get a better look. Also replace theradiator hoses if their old. If the leak continues then it's most likely your heatercore.
If the radiator tanks are plastic you will have to replace the radiator.
If you mean the plastic overflow tank, replace it. If you mean the plastic tanks on either side of the radiator core, replace the radiator.
the radiator itself is either aluminum or copper only the tanks are plastic
A new radiator.
Usually a radiator is made of metal. Plastic can not take the pressure. A hole can be fixed by welding. A radiator shop can tell you for sure.
