Gary,

Is that a Okum-Lead joint?

It almost looks like the cast is rotted at the joint, but if not you could reseal the joint with okum & lead if you know how...I have done it many times YEARS ago---

Probably the easiest would be cut that portion out and use two calder couplings after a new ABS cleanout is installed with ABS stubbed from each end of the cleanout.

okum and plastic lead will work or snapping the cast and intalling PVC with fernco adapters.
