4L60E transmission case damage

Working on a 1998 Chevy k1500 5.7 350. 4L60E trans. There appears to be some cracks in the rear of the trans case. Also, some pretty large spots slightly smaller than a bb out of the valve side of the case. Does any of this mean I need a new case? Can or should I repair any of these areas?

The first pic is nothing to worry about.

In the second pic, those do not look like cracks to me.

So no need to worry about any sealing issues with the valve body? Should I file those spots and round them off a little. They are pretty rough spots. That second picture with the cracks look almost like the case coating of some sort if peeling. Thanks for the input!!

Take a piece of glass with fine wet/dry sand paper & make sure the Vbody & Case is flat, no high/low spots. 2nd Pic looks fine, just from casting etc..
