thats the drain and crap trap for the main bearing lube feed, looks like those cases have taken a battering at some time, nothing unusual for those to be split from either animals working on them or twatting kerbs etc.

I usually mill the broken section out and weld in a drilled and tapped piece of ally bar to suit
