Trek Domane seat mast crack

Annoying as I’ve always used a torque wrench (which I’m now going to assume isn’t too accurate so a better one has been ordered) and assembly paste. Noticed it yesterday when I went to raise the seat slightly. It’s kind of an L-shaped crack, about 3cm long on the vertical. The tube has been pushed inwards slightly. Anyone here experienced anything similar? Do we think it’s repairable? DIY repair possible? I’d be thinking of patching it from the inside to strengthen the tube in general.
Thoughts would be most appreciated. Sent the picture off to Re-carb and a company in Leatherhead already but I’m impatient and keen to see what others think.
