Cracked Cylinder Head?

Has anyone ever experienced a crack in a cylinder head on the cooling jacket portion between the exhaust ports? Engine is a 1993 VP 572A (GM 350 5.7L). Compression is good on all cylinders. The engine runs great. It just seeps water out of a 2 inch crack in the casting. I've never seen that before!

Should I just buy a new head and start disassembly to replace it or is there another fix?
