I sealed mine with some kind of putty-tape that is used to seal windows and doors. I don't know why I bothered, I have no shifter boot and the transmission is exposed through the hole the shifter goes through.

working on the leaks... just don't want to get oil all over me in the interim... So, is there a seal?

Not on any I have seen.

I would use some high heat RTV. You will need to clean the area really well or the RTV won't seal.

Kinda depend on how bad he is puking out oil. The putty won't hold oil for long and RTV 'can' be cut with a razor blade knife, then peeled off. A pain to do, agreed, but...

If you really want a temporary fix: Clean up and duct-tape it from below?

Just my 2 cents. Thom.

Is no one going to tell him? CHANGE THE SEAL!!! It's a pretty simple job, stop the oil leak first, then do whatever you want to with the cover plate.
