    Do you think the little hole was just a thin casting and blasting took away the skin? Or do you think the hole was from an outside hit?
    Gut feeling is welding going to be tricky. Epoxy, if done well can last the lifetime. Drill, tap, non-ferrous screw bedded in epoxy could also do well. I have done a few automotive engines and transmissions using the drill,tap,screw in epoxy technique and never had a failure but I don’t know how thick your metal is or what the clearances may be inside.
