Hi Bryan,
Look closely to see where it's leaking/ Might be the lip seal and making
an axle gasket and sealing it with stuff won't stop a lip seal from
leaking. The O-ring is more critical than the paper gasket is. All these
items I have in stock and they are inexpensive. Better to use stock paper
gaskets as there will be no tiny bumps in them that need to be sealed up
with stuff.

<Bryan,
<This seems to be an area that is notorious for leaking (big surprise,
huh?). I use Permatex Copper gasket maker (silicone in a tube) along with
the paper gaskets (that I make myself). I've not had one leak yet (hope
that doesn't jinx me).
