Differential cover gasket

Do you guys just use the little gasket by itself, or do you also squeeze a little bead of gasket maker stuff on there as well? Inquiring minds want to know.

I like to use a thin smear of Blue Silicone sealer. But it should seal bare.

It definitely seals bare...just be sure to clean the surfaces.

I use the paper gasket naked.

or high temp silicone like toyota around the housing- ala e46 bmw factory procedure; they deleted the paper gasket because it leaked.
