Default ENGINE CASE REPAIR

I have a hairline crack in a OS.15 case that is seeping crankcase pressure, but isn't "structural" yet. Does anyone here have any experience dealing with this? I'll take this opportunity to thank all of you who helped me with the advise to build my fleet of SSC planes, especially LOU MELANCON, who patiently answered all my rookie questions,[ probably for the umpteenth time!] The plane is 64" , and weighs exactly 2.5lbs, so you guys out there in advice land did your home work!. The airfoil is a flat bottom with fully rounded LE, and the elevons need about 1/8" up to fly level. The OSLA15 gives 18K on 15%, so I guess I'll try 10% for contests. Thanks again, everyone!
