Update,
As expected, the first repair didn't hold. It worked, but after 5 minutes the vibration cracked the epoxy. After moping around for a few hours, and pricing hotel rooms in NYC ($200+ a night) I decided to take a trip to Home Depot. There I found a 'sleeve' type device with two hose clamps mounted to it. "Ah ha, this might just work." I used high temp epoxy to seal the leak and the sleeve to provide strength. The epoxy set in 30 minutes and then I went for a test drive. No leaking and it seems to hold.
In fact, today I motored from Mt. Sinai to Port Washington, and the engine ran great the entire time. I checked the repair often and it holding up well.
I will still get a proper repair, but it will wait until the end of the week.
