HOW DO I STOP THIS LEAK?

About two weeks ago me and my friend replaced my old master cylinder with a remanufactured one and bleed out my brakes after brench bleeding the master cylinder. Everything was fine until 2 days ago when I felt my brakes responding ackwardly. I looked under the hood and saw brake fluid flowing where the master cylinder meets the brake booster. The bolts are on tight and as far as I know your not suppose to put a gasket between the two, so how can I go about fixing this? I don't think the master cylinder is broken because when there's fluid in it, it works fine.

It should seal by itself; no external anything required.

Somebody sold you a defective one. Not much else to it.
