Leaking water pump on Universal 5411 diesel

Hello,

I noticed water dripping from the bottom of my raw water pump on my

Ericson 28+ Universal model 5411 diesel. I bought new gaskets and a pair of

the round metal replacement seals to see if that would solve the leaking. I

would like to know if there is any thing special I need to do when I replace the

gaskets? I took the pump shaft out and cleaned everything thoroughly. Do

I need to use any kind of sealer or treatment on the gaskets before I

remount the pump? The parts dealer said if it still leaked I would need to

replace the metal seals, has anyone done this?
