Bw35 Sump Gasket Fitment

I have a leaking gearbox sump. I tried fixing it using a super dooper rubber gasket guaranteed never to leak but it leaks like a sieve so I am going to revert to standard and replace it with the original cork type gasket. My question is, do I use gasket sealant or not and if so, one face or both? I just wondered what has been successful?
 
I never use any type of sealant. If the mating faces are in good condition and the bolts aren't overtightened I never had the leaks others seem to have experienced.
