Depending on your level of plight may be worth considering as an option a smear of p38 type filler and refit. This is an ultimate bodge and normally I'd never suggest or entertain such an idea....However it worked for my Dad in his younger days...(When the alternative was a pedal bike) how long it will last I don't know. None the less worth a thought... I'm sure that technology has provided far more appropriate soloutions such as liquid metal... But as I've never tried or had comment on them I can't recommend them.

Jeez, the P38 wasn't released by Land Rover until 1995 - how old *is* your father?

I successfully repaired a cracked camchain cover with filler. However, you don't want that doing holding oil somewhere that it shouldn't be, such as in the timing belt casing, for example.
I'm afraid you're going to have to bite the bullet and get the front off the engine (if it is indeed the front that's leaking) and replace the seal. Unless you know the timing belt's been done recently then it'd make sense to replace that at the same time and to check for alignment-problem wear.
