John Deere 730 Diesel Block

Hello, Im new to this forum but have been reading a lot before, I just received a 1959 John Deere 730 Diesel With the Pony Motor, It starts Runs and Drives Fine but there is a constant drip from the block area, then when I shut if off it drips what appears to be coolant for about 10 minutes then stops, I cleaned the grease off the block and found what appears to be a weld of some sort (picture Link Below), can this be the source and is this repairable or do I need to get a new block,
Thanks!

I would ask around your community for the person who really does know what he is doing with welding cracks in cast iron.
The other question is whether there is any evidence the block is cracked on the inside and affecting the cooling system.
Replacing the block will be a costly (time & materials) option, and a good welder may be helpful in making the decision to replace or not.

thanks everyone, I located the spot and I think im just going to take the block out and see how bad it really is because the spot is between the frame and block so its hard to tell. Thanks for the help!
