    Everyone has an opinion!   For me, I coat that base gasket with oil when I assemble the powerhead to the leg.  These 5.5hp omc motors sometimes can be a problem getting the gearcase and water pump set up right.  Causing several power head removals.  If you use sealer you will need a new gasket every time you pull it apart.  JMHO
