They make radiator putty, wich is designed to fix a problem like that. I would chose this over the jb weld, cause if the jb weld comes loose it could get stuck in the cooling system and cause a restriction somwhere, wich can lead to a cracked engine block.

I would check with a machine shop describe exactly where it is and ask if you can drill a hole thread it and use a 1/4 inch pipe plug to stop the leak. Depending on clearance they make allen head set screws you can use. The big problem is thickness and making sure you got all of the problem area removed before threading.

Take the head to a machine shop and let them tell you what is the best fix. You need to know how bad the crack is.
