Hole is probably under the bash plate where you can't see it. Depending on where it's at you may need one case half or the complete set of cases. Another common thing to happen when skirts broke. You have to decide if you want to put that much into it rebuilding it. If you do want to proceed,might as well get a new rod kit and crank bearings along with water pump seals,gasket and bearing and do it right. Can get a little expensive.

No gasket between the case halves. Threebond,Yamabond sealants are used to seal the case halves.The crank case has to have a perfect seal.The c/b cavity(where the break is) is separate from the crank case cavity. All this would do is allow fuel/oil mixture to seep inside and highly doubt the engine would run.See if this pic helps clear this up for you.
