Cam end plug leaking

Is there anyway to stop a weap on the plug at the end of the cam without splitting the case?
(1600TP)
I have the motor out for a general clean up and am replacing seals, but the weap is coming from the cam plug, not hte shaft seal unfortunately.

Maybe put some 2-part epoxy over the top?

peen the case around the plug then glu with radiator/fuel tank repair putty

dumb suggestion - JP Weld ??

Thats JB WELD and yes it will stop the leak...

Cheers for the info,
Will give the JB Weld a go. Not keen to try and peen magnesium, it's not that forgiving.
