yes

Why?

If it's just the flexible tubing that carries the heated air from the heat
exchanger, there should be no danger of carbon monoxide getting into the
cabin.

Or do you think that carbon monoxide could get into the cabin from the
engine compartment through the tubing from some other leak in the engine
compartment? If that's the worry, I'd say there are other issues in his
engine compartment.

In the short term, BTW, duct tape works just fine as a "fix".

Does this present a carbon monoxide danger? It's not the heat exchanger
that's cracked, only the tube that carries the warm air to the cabin.
I plan to get it replaced soon but I need to know if I should ground the
plane in the meantime.
