RTV. I asked the parts counter at the dealer for a gasket and they
acted like I was asking for rocket fuel or something. I tried to find
gaskets anyway at Canadian Tire (what we have up here instead of Pep
Boys). They seemed to think they had some, but wanted me to take
pictures of the axle so they could compare against the pics in their
catalog. Apparently nobody has bothered to list which ones match which
vehicles.

But the RTV seems to be holding up well, just make sure to get enough of
the stuff on there.
