E.g if I clean the outside and place a piece of plastic I glue to the engine block that I can remove later?

Please help

Thanks
Mmmh, I don't think you can do such workarounds. it's a pretty harsh environment there, it wouldn't last long.

If it is really a minor leak, then it can wait a bit. It mainly depends and how much and how "spirited" you drive. Just check regularly that things don't get worse.
