Multi-problemed bike (electrical + ???)

The way I see it my options are:

Leave the current not-visibly-cracked-but-probably-close cover on and RTV around the edges to try and seal it (costs RTV + possible oil leak/vacuum seal problems)
Get a 3rd replacement cover and either try again myself or ask my shop to do it ($15-30 + shop labor if they do it)
buy either a full engine or lower engine off of ebay ($200-$400)
buy a new bike ($1,000-$3,000)
go bikeless (I'm leaving the country in less than a year and would probably sell then anyway) (free, but inconvenient)
