Bought a beautiful trials bike a few years back off the side of the road. wasn't running but guy said it did at one point. The price was cheap enough and Within a day or 2 I had it running, probably not peak performance, but it was only intended to put around on so I was happy.
One week I'm away and a brother hops on the bike, next thing I know all the oil has leaked right out of the case and it won't start
This is what I found, looks like the PO had done some handy work to salvage the case
From what I can see the kickstart stop was busted and some jb weld was used to keep it place, it didn't take long to fail.
I would like to fix the bike, and know a machining guy in the are.
But wanted to ask here some of you more inclined engine guys.
What is the proper fix for that
And what's the chances it will happen again.

Neither are great choices, so you just may want to part it out as someone will want the parts.
