No sealant was used that I can see. I thinned down some aircraft sealer with rubbing alcohol to reseal. Copper spray gasket would also likely work.

A word of advice on metal to metal sealing. FLAT. As in no deviation in surfaces past .001 inch. How is one to arrive at this? Lapping both sides on 1500 grit wet/dry over glass. Use WD40 or kerosene as a cutting fluid. Using figure 8 motions, I was able to achieve leak free nirvana.
