Wrapping a valve cover gasket with plumbers tape managed to stop an

The worst thing that can happen with the chain is the tape will come
off and I'll have wasted 15 minutes and 50 cents.

An approach I've seen on some Dahon bikes is to enclose the outer face
and sides of the chain in a length of split-open flexible cable conduit.
This rotates around with the chain, keeping the oil off your leg (and
presumably the bulk of the dust off the oil).

Doesn't work with derailleurs, for obvious reasons.
