It's pretty common. Weld it and get a tower brace asap.

Default ROFL @ the JB Weld.
you need to get it welded fo' reals, make sure your strut tower bar is tight.

Default Totally common.
Are you sure it wasn't always like that? Look at the chemical coating/paint on it closely.

Default has been slowly coming apart for a long time
installed a strut tower bar to try to help fight this.
