Oil cooler adapter installation

i have oil seeping from the oil cooler adapter where it mates with the engine block. Besides a new o ring

is anyone using Teflon paste, gasket RTV or lock tite on the matting surfaces to prevent leaks or seeps?

i can’t find the install for the adapter in any of the manuals.

I just used the supplied o-ring, lubricated with fresh oil, and no problems with leaks.  Over the years, I've followed all the Jab forums and don't recall leaks in this area being a problem. If a new o-ring doesn't fix it (careful not to overtighten!), I'd get a recommendation from Nick at Arion Aircraft, the Jabiru dealer.
