SS, we really need to see more pictures. I suspect that if you look at the case a bit closer you will find the crack more extensive than you think.
Earlier comments about the starter idler gear are important. That gear is NOT supposed to have washer on each side. The washers go on the special kick-back limiter. If the washers are installed on the idler gear, it causes the cover to pinch the gear. When the washers are installed on the idler gear it typically causes the starter system to bind. I suspect it could also result in the case cracking (like yours).
Take pictures of this area. It might be cracked also. Based on your prior photos, it seems likely to me that this area will be cracked too.
