Hole in 40b sump

So first of all my bad for now testing beforehand. It was stupid but I forgot.
And then I paid for it.
While testing system for leaks I sure found one. It's a a literal hole in the bottom corner. It looks huge in the pic of course. I'd say touch under 1/4".
Can I just fill this with silicone and call it good? Its gonna suck to have to pull these baffles and redo this thing.
What say the community?

You might be able to patch it, but at least IMO, it's just a 40b. I'd replace it.
