Onan P216 oil leak help

[SSE 3]

Hi,

I have a 1990 416-H with the Onan P216. I have an oil leak so I pulled the hydraulic drive pulley off and thought it would be the oil seal #10, started it up and found that it was leaking from gasket #7.

So I pulled bearing plate #8 off. I have gasket and seal coming. The question is, should I use hi-temp silicon with the gasket and do I install seal in plate first or after I put plate back on.

Thanks

I use a light coat of this gasket spray on both sides of the gasket.  Install the seal before installing the plate.
