I bought the 1 piece rubber gasket with the metal bushings the bolts go through (allows tensioning the bolts without squishing the gasket).

Should I use silicon sealant anywhere? Any tips and advice welcomed.

I pulled the pan to re-weld where a pin hole in a weld had been repared with JB-weld. After pulling the pan the JB-weld repair had held and the slow leak was in the front where the rounded area in the center is at. The old pan gasket was cork and the rounded areas were a rubber seal. There was silicone sealant where the rubber seal and cork met. It looked to have been assemble correctly to me. That's why I went for the better gasket. I would like to do this once, so that's why I ask for some advice here.

Thanks
