    You could see if it's possible to move the gasket around so that the hole is on the top. Stick a bit of rubber to it with tec7 then. It won't last forever but if on the top it won't see much water.

    I've used tec7 on bottom placed tears and it's lasted a surprising amount of time. But that presumes a rip, not a lump missing.



    Do it soon, otherwise water will find its way into something and blow the PCB

    I made this same repair a few months ago and it's still working grand.

    I followed the instructions in this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-QDg9KTaxs

    I couldn't get the stuff the guy has in the vid, so used Tec7, and it worked fine.
