Can I metal-caulk the crack for now or must I replace the whole unit? Model-> GOULDS PUMPS GT20 IRRI-GATOR Self-Priming Single Phase Centrifugal Pump. (Image attached). Thank you.

My guess is Georgia-Florida-Houston area as that is where I have been seeing things like this since the last freeze went so far south. Nobody in the south plans for a freeze so this happens a lot. Sure haven't heard anything about "global warming" lately.
