Yeah just use Sikaflex or simillar. There is a gasket you can buy but no-one uses it. Layto.... |

do not use sika for this, you need to use a proper flange sealant, sika is not designed for oils, fuels ect, the amount of backyarders that use it is a joke. |

Most mechanics use grey silicone, unsure at the mo the name, but every mechanic I know uses it, and just calls it grey silicone.. They say, reason is gaskets can and will leak, so its a root if the do a job then have to redo it because they use a gasket and it leaks. |

have used good old 732 silastic many times and never had a problem,bot even a slight weep or wet spot after probably 5 or 6 diffs with it. I have also used ultra blue and had no dramas with diffs,tappet covers etc |

sikaflex will work just fine, but there are specific sealers for this, ie three bond grey one of the best around. as a general rule most sika proucts are adheasives not sealers although they do also seal. |

I use the black sikaflex that they sell at supercheap. Its the one labeled as oil resistant (I think it even has an image of a sump as an example on it  )
