That stuff is the best ever. I've used it on the oil pan, valve cover, misc parts on intake manifold. Seals wonderful.

I'm sure any RTV silicone gasket @ local parts store should work well, too.

If you still get leaks after that, you may want to look into your water pump/timing cover.

How well did you clean your surfaces?

I have used lots of "cheap AutoZone paper seals and RTV sealant" and never had a leak the bearing usually fails first.
