I used Hylomar there (the old stuff, 'blue').

Hi Dave,

The key is cleanliness (next to Godliness). No, what I mean is that all the
mating surfaces need to be clean and free from any contaminants and dirt.

And if that doesn't work (and it didn't for me) I used black RTV applied as
a thin film and let it cure for two days before re-installing. Don't touch
it! Be patient.
