Is there a removable adhesive/putty that can withstand heat from the timing cover?
 
I'm getting what is most likely oil fizzing from the dipstick o ring that inserts into the front timing cover. I'd like to wipe the area clean and then put a wall of high temp adhesive or putty around the dipstick o ring hole (not in it) and see if it'll protect against the fizzing of the oil from there splashing back across the bottom of the timing cover as shown in the video.

My next oil change isn't planned for another two months so I can't replace the O ring yet.

I don't think much oil would come out by replacing the o-ring now. I believe the end of the dipstick goes past where the o-ring is. But if you want to use a sealant for oil, the Black sealant is typically used for oil.
