So uh, I could seal my crack with silicone and run the set for awhile and see if that helps? Hm, since I don't have any way of running my filament other than the tv itself ( that I'm aware of ) I guess this is something I'll have to try once I get all my caps replaced.

You don't have anything to lose. However, silicone RTV is quite permeable to oxygen so it doesn't provide much of a seal.
