my wifes had a small crack on top, I used clear nail polish and let it dry overnight. Formed a killer seal and wont drip. But you really want to get a new boot as soon as you can

On your way out stop by an auto parts store and pick up a piece of boot that they use for radiators and cut it to fit and your good to go.

your bike should have the straps from your old boot. If not they will have clamps for you for a couple bucks if that.

try fillin it in with silicone sealer or some kind of gasket sealer. apoxy or rubber cement might work. hot glue? get a radiator hose from a car that fits and cut it so its short enough to fit. u could use anything probly. idk about pvc piping tho.....
