To clarify, you suggest I re-use the gaskets, as well as the the gasket maker?

Question: How does exhaust soot get around door jambs? -
Well, first off, if you are under 50 years old and/or are new to wrenching, I suggest you buy a torque wrench.
I reckon it would be OK to reuse the gaskets if they were the right ones and they are in good condition.
Back in the day, in my wrenching days, when pieces were put together with gaskets in between them (and not just sealant), I would use gaskets AND gasket maker. The main job of the gasket maker was to hold the gasket in place while installing the piece -
I hope you find and get your leak repaired.
