Mine was about that bad. I kept putting it off but finally decided to try patching it from the outside before pulling the engine. All the sealant issue posts on here had me worried.

I cleaned it off once to find the right place, then cleaned it off a second time and smeared a thin (1/32") layer of RTV over the crack. It hasn't leaked a drop in a few years and held up to track time.

I think the key was finding the right place and getting everything really clean. If you don't feel like you're wasting brake clean and shop towels, you're probably not using enough.
