I saved your image Jay. The crack looks to be the 'zipper weld' between rods ie down the middle of the scrolls and not the straight ribband edge weld. There also appears to be a perpendicular defect of some sort.
Any attempt at repair that close to the breech would be risky. Do you recall the wall thickness at the fracture?
