You are going to have to remove it and open it up. Clean up the surfaces and coat them with RTV. Let it tack up a bit then reassemble the halves. Reinstall it in the truck and allow it to set up for at least 12 hours (better if it can sit for 24hours) before putting fluid back into it.

If the casing is cracked, you should start looking for a replacement NP208.

You could try it, but you will have to get the area oil free before you apply it. The housing cracked for a reason. It likely won't get any better. Quik-steel may seal up the leak, but it could crack further if you use your 4wd.
