Is there a gasket for this? I removed it from my block(rebuilding)and wasnt able to tell if it is liquid gasket or a real gasket.

Can I use liquid gasket to seal it? And if so, which liquid gasket? Blue RTV?

If you are dealing with the oil pan with the engine in the car,a gasket is easier to work with. If the engine is out i prefer to use sealer unless the OEM specifies otherwise.
