Default Hydro Gasket

I am having a problem with the cork gasket that fits between the hydro pump and the rear end. The tractor is a 149. I have split the tractor five times trying to stop the Hytran leak.

My latest attempt included the addition of Ultra black gasket sealer applied to the cork. It leaks worse.

Has anyone had this problem? A leaking hydro gasket, despite every effort to fix it?

A few notes:
-It is definitely the gasket leaking. I can see the fluid trail.
-I am using brand new OEM gaskets purchased from Partstree
-I replaced this same gasket on my other 149, and it does not leak at all
