Default Hairline cracks in oil pan and transmission casing

I was doing an oil change yesterday and noticed some cracks, one near the oil drain bolt:

As well as these, near the clutch:

My gut reaction is: "Oh crap". Anyone else have a similar issue? Is this about to explode? Thankfully no leaks, but I'm still pretty concerned.

Those are called casting flash, and is completely normal.
