Thanks all for the help, I drilled the ends, used a dremmel to grind out the crack a tad, cleaned with wire wheel in a die grinder, then lacquer thinner. Finnaly filling with JB weld.

Using a single sided razer as a putty knife/scraper worked great to apply the JB weld.

I tried the shop vac trick and connected it on the water inlet but it kept sucking the JB weld clean through the holes so they wouldn't stay plugged.

I've driven it ~ 20 miles since the patch and no leak yet so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and moved on to the next problem.

Thanks Again.
