No!
But to be sure. Heat it with a propane torch, or a heat gun.

If it's a crack through the case. Oil should well up from the suspected crack, when heated.

Thanks, I’m hoping its not either. It’s not over the galleys so should be fine
Anyone else out there have any ideas on it let me know.

Thanks again,

I can see something that may be a hairline crack, but then again it may not be; it's impossible to say one way or the other with just the picture provided. Your best bet is to hit it with a heat source as suggested earlier, or use some dye penetrant to see if it's cracked or not.
