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

x2 so much better.

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

I "think" its 735

i used it for the rear diff and the oil sump. probably didnt use enough of it, yet theres no leaks...

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 )
