The cracks won't leak. Paint them with liquid tape if the cracks bother you.

 

Dans right, its rare that they leak. I spent the $ to replace mine under the assumption they were leaking. When I got them off I found none of the cracks were all the way through. They did look like they were.

The 1stGen joints have a metal sleeve sandwiched in the joint wall. The 2ndGens have a plastic liner on the inside of the joint except for that portion under the clamps. I replaced the '99's because joint cracks started to open up at the top when the clamps were tightened. In my mind they could cause a vacuum leak, so went ahead and replaced them for peace of mind...
