I had a similar problem last year, albeit a chord wise crack. My problem was the reinforcing tube that runs around the circumference of the leading edge had a crack propagating from one of the holes drilled to allow rivet installation.
The crack had actually fractured through 50% of the tube, allowing the skin to flex and crack. I drilled out the rivets and removed the section of tube which was affected, and cut away a large patch of the skin.
I would like to tell you that I then fabricated a new section of skin/doubler, fashioned it to exactly follow the whole contour and replaced it, but it was well beyond my skills.
I got a mechanic at my airline to take it away and do the honours!
