On Neil's (Performance Developments) advice, I did NOT add any sealant to this area. Over 13,000 daily driven miles since my rebuild and no issues to report with the case leaking.
EDIT: the only area that has developed a tiny weep of oil (not even dripping yet, but it won't be long) are the chain covers. I used a thin coat of 574 on the gaskets. I have purchased new gaskets and will either use a coat of Hylomar or Curil-T on them and button it back up.
