I think the most correct way is to remove the chain plate and then rebed. I'd be torn between using butyl and 4200. You can support the mast with a halyard if desired.
First, you might find is useful to determine if it is the machine screws/bolts or the flange specifically. A little tightening of the bolt, a small addition of 4200, a wrap of butyl, or some Capt Tully's Creeping Crack cure may be enough if it is just a loose bolt. You should also figure out if the deck area is cored. If not cored the leak will be rather innocuous for quite some time - go sailing.
