no sealer, clean surface and torque spec, done. sealer isn't used from the factory and doesn't belong there now.
i used to use it on that stuff when i started as a mechanic. it sucks, doesn't help it seal, and makes it harder to change next time to clean that crap out of the crevices.

when you swap that tube over that a hose connects to, i put a little silicone on those threads. most pumps don't come with this tube attached, and you have to swap it to the new pump.
