id wait and keep checking it periodically, it will get worse and then it will have to be fixed, so just take it easy on her.. now is it in the actual blow or where a component mates with the block cause normally a blow would crack, sounds like a a seal problem at the thermostat housing

i'd find somebody with a welder, a tack in the spot would seal it good
