Found a crack in the block that was weeping. Cylinder 4. Under the edge of the lip on the drivers side. Picture is looking up at it.

Ran the borescope into each cylinder and not water in them. Also no water in the oil.

Options?

No your block isn't dead we can repair it permanently without welding and without JB weld. We've repaired blocks in worse condition than yours.
