Yep,I gave up using gaskets on diff centers a while ago. I just clean off the goo from last time and put a good coating on. There are no narrow oil/water galleries to consider blocking like on an engine part.

I use some blue silicon type stuff that's meant to be for use where oil is present. Clean the old shit off, wipe it over with some brake clean so the gasket goo can adhere to the metal surfaces.
