Angry Cracked pump housing on pressure washer

Made my first mistake let someone borrow the pressure washer. They said it was leaking on the pressure side of the pump right where the hose is threaded to the housing. So they took out the brass fitting put a copious amount of thread tape on it and really tightened it back in there. This caused the small crack in the housing to become a very large crack and the pump will not maintain pressure now. It is a cast housing any thoughts on a way to fix it?
