I would go with this option,,,,,, but,,,,
The LDNP (Lake District National Park) has just been working on a little known lane up here (The Old Coach Road) and decided to fence off the western section , by some trees, which means you now have little option but to ride through the 'puddles' which come up to airbox level in places.
With this in mind, I'm liking your ramblings.....
I have another 'thought', a short piece of pipe, with the correct diameter to fit into the breather hole in the airbox, with the end of a whoopee cusion fixed to the other end of the pipe. Then you have a sort of one-way valve, in the same concept as we use on the fish-tank air supply pump in case of power failure (so the water doesn't syphon out).
The problem is the whoopee cusion, it would probably melt with the heat of the hot oil, but if you could find the same profile 'closed' tube in silicon then you'd be sorted. A simple 'plug in' mod to solve the situation.
