    Danny, I might be wrong but in the 4th pic it looks like you have a small crack forming at the corner of the mouth.
    The significant problems we encounter cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

    The penalty for inaccuracy is more work

    The crucial parts are considered the region around the mouth, the heel (back end) and toe (front end) of the sole.

    Brian, there is a small pit at the top right corner of the mouth (the back of the mouth). In the pic, there is a streak of oil trailing off that may look like a longer crack. What should I do about the pit/potential crack?

    Bill, I figure the low patch at the top, in front of the mouth, is close enough to the mouth to be a problem, right?

    There really isn't anything you can do about a crack other than keep an eye on it. Some have had luck with brazing but it'll cost much more than the plane is worth unless that's in your skill set.

    Don't worry about it unless it grows.
