Fix leaking kettle (slrpnk.net)

Hi all

I have an electric kettle I use to boil water often. I bought is because it is stainless steel, except for the indicator to see the water level. Of course this plastic part is now leaking...

Does anyone have an idea how to fix it? My idea would be to fill it with silicone, but not sure if that is safe for use with foods

Share some pics and make/model for more accurate advice. Off the top of my head, with no professional in knowledge, I think silicon would be fine.
