Default Whats the best thing to use when sealing the sump gasket?

Guys, Just had a full engine rebuild and am currently running the engine in. I've noticed a slight leak coming from the sump gasket. I'm due an oil change within the next week. Whats the best thing to use around the gasket to help seal?

Cheers.

Nothing, just the gasket!
Might need to use a little superglue to stick it to the block if doing it with the engine in the car.
