Which one exactly. That link is to a page full. I used a grey permatex but cant remember which but it has sealed fine. I was able to leave mine overnight though for added peace of mind. Mind you I also have an 8mm flange so its nice and flat and pulls down even.

When you pull it off and clean the diff face look at countersinking the bolt hokes just a smidge. If like mine the edge of the hole pulls up over time which doesnt help.

Its called Permatex gear oil rtv gasket maker , i think its a relitivly new product , but the material gasket should get here friday and if its not still p@##ing down i might give that ago first ,i'll coat it both sides with brush on aircraft type sealer , in other applications those things last 10-20 years !

I hope you change your diff oil a bit more often than that.
