Default Engine build question

When putting the engines ancilleries back on (Manifolds, water pump thermostat housing etc) Obviously you use the relevent gasket but do you also use a sealer? I've noticed orangy paste around most of the parts on my new engine.

Whats the recommended sealer for Cosworth engines?

Cheers
