Forgot my kickstand last week and did a slow lay the bike down move. The result was the left floorboard bracket bending into the crankcase. Very slow oil leak from where the crankcase is cracked. Not yet observable amount looking at dipstick. But it is cracked and leaking.
Suggestions for a patch?
JB Weld? High temp epoxy? Band Aid and duct tape?

A "metal type" filler is ok for a temporary repair; but, I'd definitely look into having a professional weld it to really get it "sealed up" properly. Sorry to hear about the problem. It's fixable at least.
