Cotton or silk thread? That could work. Force some in there with a needle or wire. It may stop the oil bleeding so you can get the seam clean for the RTV to stick. Spread some RTV on the outside of the seam too. It won't be pretty but compared to the alternative? Those archaic aircraft practices are still used for a reason.
I had an '04 F350 with the POS 6.0 diesel. It developed a small rear main drip so I built a tray out of some tin that was suspended below the drip. I put a kotex in the tray and it worked great, no more drips on the driveway. The only problem was the truck developed PMS.
