I'm with Tony . . . this is the method that I would consider (as long as I can get a drill into the location). If you can drill it, you can probably fix it with this method and I'd have confidence in it holding. If you happen to have any sort of slight weeping afterwards, just use Moroso water glass to seal it from the inside (follow the directions closely!).
