Too much sealant IMO..

if it squidged out on the outside when you fitted it then it would have done the same on the inside and the extra eventually breaks off the inside and blocks up the oil pick up pipe.

Is there not a proper gasket you can use instead of sealant ? If not then be as sparing as you can with the sealant..
