How can I seal a leaking toilet cistern?

There's a crack in the back of my vitreous china toilet cistern. How can I seal it please? Replacing it will mean buying an entire new toilet set and a matching bath, so I'd prefer to seal the leak. Thank you.

Thanks John, it's worth a try. Much appreciated!

Most people wouldn't recommend it but you might just get away with emptying the cistern, drying it thoroughly with a hair dryer, and applying a layer of Araldite adhesive over the crack. You'll need to leave it at least 24 hours to set though.
