It is indeed part of the engine case so cant be replaced like a normal sump.Having said that it could be machined out and helicoiled or similar but you need to factor in the cost and hassle of doing all that.If your bike is a nice example with no accident damage,few owners,service history to prove the mileage and good consumables it might attract reasonable money despite the problem.Otherwise Id say about £600 at this time of year.
