The housings sometimes have small lines of flash from the molding process, which if dirty, can look like a crack.
Wouldn't worry much if it is the housing. It's not a structural member and only guides air. The fan is a different story. One thing you can do is to drill a small hole at each end of the crack. That''s an old aircraft trick to stop the crack from propagating. The crack probably is a little longer than you think so drill accordingy. Plug the holes with epoxy and you are good to go. Ken |
