Well if it runs good and there is no water getting in the oil and no oil getting in the water; then I would drill both ends of the crack or otherwise it will keep spreading.
From there, I would likely apply some type of silver solder or low melting point braze via using a torch after veeing the crack a bit with a grinder. I would try to avoid arc welding it myself, but would not rule it out if I had no other viable choice. If I welded I would not weld very much at a time.
JB weld or epoxy would be my last resort simply because I view those as temporary patches that will eventually fail instead of permanent fixes.
