maybe you can buy a roll of gasket material and you will have to cut it to fit your engine and match the old piece. the only quick fix i see is to use a tube of high temp silicone and put it along the line where the engine joins and where gasket is and where it leaks.
that might be enough to get it home.

Body,
Only one place I've found for crankshaft seals. They are not available anywhere else that I looked and I did some searching. Here's the link and they are one of our sponsors.
