    I'd just weld or braze it to seal it up. If its a structural part of the axle housing, then it'll need to be welded.

    i have always kept a petrol repair putty in my truck. I have found this bloody usefull for repairing the tank plus rad , but most importantly the diff houseing. Did it to a racer i had years ago. Put the putty on the diff caseing as we had hit a rock and split it and finished the race. Then forgot about it untill 3 years later when i was looking at the axel and saw that it was still there and working well.
    Well worth bit of kit to keep in the tool box of the truck
