Actually, a good quality cork gasket can be one of the best gaskets you can get, and no need for additional silicone.

Just don't over tighten it, and get a good quality gasket, such as Fel-Pro.

Just go ahead and drop the pan and replace the gasket. Putting gasket sealer around it won't help the problem. Also use a quality gasket like Fel-Pro.
