I'm sure that is what its meant to have from the factory. My ST has what looks like a sealant gasket.

i've only ever used sealant (good quality like locktite).

don't expect it not to leak though, i've never seen a used 4x4 that doesn't dribble a bit somewhere around the sump.

I use a cometic 2wd sump gasket on them,they are made of a very tough card and you will only need a very tiny bit of sealer around where it meets the half moons....
