Yes, Be sure to leave the plug in when sanding it down. Probably best to just JB weld over the plug and the crack. That should stop it from leaking.

i left the plug in
sanded, filed, used drill/wirebrush, soaked it in brake cleaner
jbwelded the hell out of it. used an entire kit on it
covered everything in "right stuff - ultra gray"
let it sit for like 7 or 8 hours... still leaking
i had a little run in with lightning that same day and was a really rough week for me
guess it just wasn't meant to be
last wednesday or thursday i was ready to pay someone $500 to make this problem go away
your help is welcome anytime
just to add some closure to this
i dropped it off at a shop a couple months ago to get welded up
took him forever to get to it, just brought it home last weekend
he hooked me up at $125 and also installed my ps axle for me, not a bad deal :)
wish he would have been available when i needed it right before ng11
oh well, i should definitely be ready for ng12 :)
she's needs a little tlc, but running great and not the slightest oil leak now
