Default Re: aluminum 'welding' Q...

The cover looks to be a casting. Aluminum castings have irregular & more porosity than extruded or rolled aluminum which can as Woody indicates hold oil but even if clean can easily blow out with conventional Tig welding. You might be better off soldering, here's a good tech read on soldering aluminum. https://app.aws.org/wj/2004/02/046/
