so if it is a cracked crank case how much would that be to fix?im not sure what it is at this point but im pretty much only worried about a possible crack.

You can often find a complete motor on ebay for less than the cases and labor. I'm not sure of the labor rate in your area but around here it will set you back about $900.00 p&l.
