Box on my silver saph is leaking, I've looked for new gaskets/seals for this but can't seem to find anything, is their a kit or does it just use sealant?

they just use sealant .... i had a new one from ford many years ago ,, and that leaked not long after buying it ................ there is a oil seal on the front motion shaft ,, also on the rear .... but i think they leak from where the casings are bolted together .................

Ok cheers, that's probably why, i got the box direct from ford and it has a gasket in there. Tried woodford and Burton but no joy, think sealant is probably the better option anyway.
