Agreed!

Definitly tough to figure out, with the description.

Maybe just posting a picture of the damage would be the best thing to do right now.

If it is just a sealing surface broken and not a stressed surface, such as bearings, or subject to any force, I don't see a problem welding and machining.

or...

With problems welding or machining don't I see broken surface seal it is just a and surface a force any bearing not to stress. LOL
