I put some sealer on, but don't go nuts - you don't want big pieces going inside the engine.

Blue hylomar or proper silicone sealant for bathrooms

Dip the ends of the half moons in blue hylomar or something similar, don't over do it, you only really need a small amount.

Yes, it will mostly likely leak oil if you dont add some hylomar or similar to the end of the halfmoon seals. Dead easy job just be careful to line up the gasket straight so you dont shear it with the bolts.
