foundation cracks

Hi, wondering if anyone here can give some advice to us.

We have a 40 year old home on a raised concrete foundation with a crawlspace below. While out doing some cleanup I noticed 2 different cracks in the foundation about 8 feet apart. For all I know they've been there for many years, but never noticed. I found our 11 year old home inspection report which stated foundation cracks were visible, less that 1/4 inch wide and probably due to shrinkage and curing.

Do we epoxy, patch? The crawlspace in this area is just too low to get to from the inside.

I'm not sure how to add images.

One crack is about 1/32nd wide. The other has one crack coming down from the siding above about 1/16th wide with another crack coming up from underground curving towards it about 1/32nd wide. They don't quite meet, maybe a couple inches apart from each other, but look as if they will either connect or they will connect around the space between them.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks!
