put a bit of silicone on the mating surfaces

dont put anything more than a very thin smear on it thoguh, you don't want the excess finding it's way into the diff

and if you haven't already undone the filler plug, make sure you do it before anyting else, they have beenknown to weld themselves in there and they don't come out without a lot of hassle
