Having spent many years in dealerships, we never used any kind of sealant. What we did do was to soak the cork gasket in water prior to assembly, lay it on the pan, and install it. The tendency to over torque the bolts, is what eventually causes crushing of the gasket and failure of the seal. Follow the service manual instructions for the proper inch pound settings for the proper torque and you should have no problems. Remember, this is not a high pressure area.
