Crack in the upper intake manifold (pic)

[sspeedstreet]

I haven't actually run this manifold, but I took it in to be cleaned and this is what I found. As this is behind the EGR and hard to see when installed, I thought I'd post it so you can check yours.

Probably no reason why it couldn't just be welded up.

Looks like a casting flaw. Picture to small.

Looks like a JB weld fix to me if its even a leak.

Looks like somebody installed the wrong/defective plug in the hole. Used to happen all the time on earliy 2.8 aluminum heads.
