Pressure from the crank case (rocker cover) might be sufficient?

I've made my own gaiters for all kinds of things like this out of leather, 'stitched' with small cable ties. I bought a sheet of soft leather on eBay which is easy to cut and has made a dozen or so gaiters of one sort or another. If you rub grease into the surface before fitting, it waterproofs it. Then fill the interior with grease to lubricate the joint. It's actually the grease providing the waterproofing and the gaiter to stop the grease escaping.

It's your axle oil seal that's leaking so you need to strip it and replace that along with whatever else is worn and allowing enough play in the shaft to make it leak - kingpin or wheel bearings.
