Hi,
he is still a very young pup and if he is holding himself in the crate ok then he already has good bladder control. I'm afraid it seems to me like a training thing. Peanut was the same, but we just let her out regulally and increased the time she was left bit by bit. It will soon click that he has to hold and let you know he needs to go. Peanut still doesn't let us know except for sitting and looking outside.
We have a dog flap on out back door too, a left over from our old dog and two cats, which she worked out very quickly and now mostly takes herself out. Guess that also depends upon your security etc, but they can squeeze through a smallish space !!
Be patient with him he will learn, good luck,
Graham
