I'd say patch it the best you can and drive it.

It won't last forever, but you could still get a few good years out of it.

JB is good but this needs to seal from the inside out and jb cant get in there like an internal sealant. 20 bucks or less bro, give it a try.

When we first discovered the crack it was up on the lift. There was coolant around the heater. The heater was actually loose so we tightened it up and no more coolant loss. The crack is a hairline.

Ive been checking coolant every morning and lost nothing in 5 days.
