I recommend loctite 518 for sealing the sump plate.. Silicone or the recommended Porsche sealant has quite a bit of "squeeze" and a ton of it can end up in the oil pick up tube and can create an engine failure.

I go over this in the youtube video that covers the installation of the LN Engineering deep sump kit...
