March 30, 201115 yr Any flexible/silicone based oil resistant gasket sealant should be fine - e.g. Loctite or Hylomar Bigger question is why is is leaking in the first place? Can you not see the affected area? Have you tried gently sanding surfaces with wet&dry by sticking wet&dry to PERFECTLY FLAT surface (bench or table top) and gently sanding the mating surface on it? Also inspect the engine casing side closely for any burrs or left over pieces of gasket that could be causing the leak.
