Can you post a picture? There are lots of ways to treat a split depending on how it looks.

that young it must be a growth wrinkle(maybe with some ozzing),,post a pic the pumpkin is still very solid at that age I wouldn't mess with any sealant,,,let it grow

saw the pic,,,should be no problem,,,if you are worried set up something to help keep it dry like a tarp or smaller covering it will also serve to shade the fruit
