They have to be oil free! then use your favorite silly cone sealant without a gasket.

A lot of fellows prefer that method to a factory gasket that sometimes leaks for various reasons

Thank you ol'George! I thought a little time and effort going into a pop box might work. I also made a gasket for the big square plate located on top of the transmission; behind the pump. That one looked like it was leaking, and the cap screws were loose.
