That would depend exactly where the crack is. Can you see the crack? Is
it near a bearing support? If it is in the reservoir portion, where there is no
pressure, you drill a hole at the end of the crack to stop the crack from
continuing and use an aluminum type apoxi or TIG/MIG weld it. If it supports a
bearing, take it to a shop because if the bearing is out of alignment, it will
cause damage.
