I was picturing that the gap he has is between the case and the outside of the RMS. The outside of the RMS looks to be a steel ring coated with rubber. I don't see how a bit of sealant in one spot would cause any leakage. Then again, if it is a small enough scratch the rubber on the outside of the rms might fill it.
What I have heard is that the PTFE RMS surface that touches the crank should be installed dry, but that's not the part of the RMS I am referring to.
