plastic wrap, baggies, or some tape over the big holes should work but I will warn you now the holes are there to get rid of heat so heat will build faster and make it more likely to ruin a board.

Seal off the valley in the chassis for the drive shaft, and then silicone around the edges and vents. Should be fairly tight..

Just goto Home Depot, and grab a deal of silicone sealer, typically used to seal windows and such. But you need a caulking gun most the time, Im not sure if it comes in little squeeze bottles like toothpastes...
