Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get one of the wax seals which go around your commode pipe (at home) when you seat it. That will seal the shaft entry enough if you mold it to the entrance at the cutlass bearing, so that the water trickling in is manageable. There will still be some, but not enough to cause panic.
