I have found that rat bait works well. I run a wire through the center to keep it from being dragged off. When the bait stops disappearing the mice and other rodents are done. Regular traps worked but had to be re-set. The bait makes them seek water and they usually go out to find it. It is...

If it is just the water jacket that cracked, weld it up. Even if you don't get all the crack water tight the small leaks can be sealed with epoxy. Some eutectic cast rod, low amps and short beads you might be able to save it.
