Ten plus years ago Dave Russel told me to cut the paper form a grocery bag =
in the shape of the old gasket. Just a little smear of sealant on both side=
s and it has not leaked in all those years.

The hub seal works best when you use the original style thin paper gasket. =
Often shops stick in thicker gaskets or put a bunch of silicone sealant on=
it not understanding that the hub gasket itself is designed to seal only i=
f the five nuts holding the spline on the hub are properly torqued with a t=
hin gasket on the hub. If the nuts start backing off, then you will get a =
leak, it's meant to tell you to tighten the nuts up again.
thin gasket - proper torque - you won't have leaks.
Best,
