Chemical metal, (dunno if thats the same as epoxy resin? think it might be) they use it to make temorary repairs to ships hulls! so if it works there then i'm sure it will be ok for your engine caseing...

Out of interest where on the case is it cracked? you might be able to repair it and flog it on...

Otherwise, if its not peeing it out then just keep an eye on the level and ignore it for a while, provided it dosn't start comeing out faster its perfectly fine, just be very carefull the level stays where it should be...
