Blue or black RTV. I just redid mine and found out that there is a gasket for it. Got it from O'Reilly's.

I used RTV last time 'cause I never thot to look for a gasket. It did start weeping. Gasket is doing good. I put a thin layer of black RTV just to make it easier to keep in place. Seems to be fine. I vote for the gasket.

I use both. A small bead on the housing, then the gasket, then a small bead on the cover. Tighten cover then wipe off the excess.

use both! Most importantly prep the surface on both sides with a solvent and then use an emery cloth to scratch the surface down to clean metal
