Is there a quick patch fix I can do myself
Or is it a bigger job I can do myself ?

Maybe a bike tyre patch, assuming the contact adhesive doesn't melt the seal further?
I have to agree with the others though, replacing the entire seal isn't expensive or overly difficult. I did one on an old washer where the mould just wouldn't disappear. It needed a short spanner and a screwdriver, a few bruised knuckles and about half hour from start to finish. The seals are readily available on Ebay."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51788422","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"melted"},"datePublished":"2023-12-19T23:35:05.000Z","text":"There's some expensive stuff for fixing leaks in rubber and vinyl waders that might work, but you'd probably have to remove the seal and seal it from the outside, and I really don't think it would be worth trying.
Buy a new seal, or even a used good condition one. They are fairly easy to fit, you'll probably need to do a bit of disassembly and unscrew the controls and the front panel to fit it to the tub. On mine the gap to the concrete weights are quite tight, but as I was changing the bearings, I just unbolted the weights on the front."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51789648","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"a666andy"},"datePublished":"2023-12-20T08:42:31.000Z","text":"IF you really want to try something quick and easy that MAY work temporarily while you get a replacement seal try a tenacious tape patch like below.
That said, the previous posters advise on just changing the whole seal sounds like much better advice
