Front diff

My front diff is leaking from the cover, I got all the stuff to fix it but the silicone needs 24 hours to cure before I fill it but I need to drive. Could I not fill it and just not use 4wd? Any help is appreciated.

I used the green Permatex (I think) and although the recommendation is 24 hrs cure time, I cut it to 12 hrs at approx 70 degrees without issue. Definitely wouldn't run it without oil in the diff!
