Not easy to tell with those photos…
Twas me, I might give the old girl the benefit of the doubt. But then again, I’m that “I can fix it, I can fix her” kinda guy, and that’s not historically worked out well for me.
I see a paint error, but no crack.
Nothing to see here

based off the low qual pics u have lack of Primer/ paint in a hard to reach area and some dirt on the overlapping welds.
Carry on
That looks like paint to me, bro
I‘m seeing an ugly weld, or paint.
Nah crap weld with too much paint
Me too. I’m seeing paint over welding seam
Well you ain’t not pictureologist either because that image looks like it was taken with potato.
