Default Sealer 4 machined alum. surfaces?

Okay, I've got my car nearly all back together. And before I've even started it I see that there is fluid seeping from the joint in my TR-3550 where the tailshaft housing meets the main housing. When I assembled it I spread a light coating of Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket on the mating surfaces, as it "seemed" like the proper application.

Is there a better sealer for machined aluminum surfaces? Since the stupid G.M. fluid Tremec recommends is over $10.00 per quart, I don't want to be donating it as road sealer. I'd rather fix this problem now if anyone has better ideas.

Thanks more, Tom
