Very quick one...

Just put my back axle back together, including new oil seal, o-ring and gasket. But was wondering whether I should take it apart again to put some 'gasket sealant' on there or is that just a nicety??

TIA

NO - there was none originally - so why now?

Or to put it another way, YES if it stops an oil leak, but only when you have it apart anyway, don't strip it down just top do it. Also, in practice, I have found that a properly fitted ring and gasket will NOT need sealant as well.
