Lathe Gearbox Sealant

Stupidly bent a shaft in my Warco lathe gearbox. New parts on order with Warco. When I come to replace the front plate what am I best to use to reseal and prevent any future oil loss. Googled but got an array of products with varying prices and no real indication of what suits best.

Also what grade of oil am I best using?

Instant gasket should work.

I've just injected this stuff HLP32 through all the oiler points on my new lathe and it's definitely quietened down the headstock gears.
