Default Upcoming Sump pan change(st170)

Right getting my sump pan replaced in the near future as mine has corroded and starting to weep,ive bought a replacement one and got oil,oil filter to get my mate to do the work,just one question do these need a sump gasket or can you use sump sealer?hoping for the latter

Sealer mate, make sure it's clean when it's applied

Another quick update,thermostat replaced,sorted that issue
Also replaced pollen filter,glad i did as the one in there was put upside down and caked in crap,then i put an forte air condition treatment to sort out the funky smell when you turned the A/C off,that is no longer an issue
And got 4 wheel alignment done,so hopefully thats it for a while
