Is it possible to patch or to use some type of caulk to fill the hole?

Hello,

The best option would be to replace the boot.
There are quick fix boots that can be purchased that you can install without removing the CV axle.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
