Don't worry your gears wont fall out. Im actually doing mine right now. (Waiting for rtv to dry before I add fluid) just clean inside with brake cleaner. Its like ten 1/2" bolts

It's sealant that is in the form of paste that is sold in a tube. You can buy it at autozone, advanced auto, etc

Go to any parts store, hardware store, or even Walmart's auto section and ask for "RTV red".
