I replaced seals in the dizzy. It's fine now, but I've noticed that sump leaks a bit. Do I need to buy a gasket and put gasket sump sealant or jst sump sealant only. Should I do anything (clean) with the oil strainer while I have sump off the engine? What do you advise?
Cheers Chris

hmm, just tighten the bolt's and see how she goes, if it still leaks buy a $10gasket from repco and she will be right and not leak at all
for the record thats fairly confusing what you wrote, but at least it was all spelt correct

'if' the sump is leaking from the bottom rear than its more than likely a rear main. just use silicone, suzuki never had a gasket for the sump.

as they said i would use silicone to seal it...
while it is out it wouldn't hurt to clean the oil pick up. as your already in there.

I changed clutch and rear main two weeks ago. It looks like sump is leaking in few places, not only at rear, I was wondering if that oil was because of the dizzy leak or sump leak, once I replaced dizzy seals and rear main (didn't leak) it means its sump. Anyway I pull it apart, use sillicon and will see if its only this or something else.
I was confused, because manual doesn't show any gasket, but you can buy one.
cheers

As others have said, just scrape the bottom surface of the block with a razor blade to remove old sealant and do the same with the sump. Then apply a few mm thick bead of silicon gasket sealant (must be automotive type, not houshold shit  ) and let it sit for a few mins. Then bolts it up firm.
And just a word of advise, trust the sealant. Don't go swinging off those little bolts because it doesn't take much to snap them off in the block.
