Then after the timing cover is replaced with a new gasket in place and the crankshaft damper nut replaced at correct torque remove the oil from the cylinder? Any opinions on this idea please let me know??

Filling GP hole with oil probably wont work. Your problem is not the front seal. It sounds like you have a ring problem.
