Not sure , without more cleaning and de rusting if more cracks on inside. Future leaks in that area would put coolant in oil. Thanks again, I really appreciate the help

If that is the case, I'd probably consider it a "dead dog" . . . and not try to use it. It most likely has freeze damage and who knows the other places that cracks may have started - and not yet progressed enough to leak. At the very least, mag it and pressure test it . . . before "investing" in it.
If it was me, I'd find another block and be able to sleep at night . . .
