it was leaking from it
From the mating between the gasket and either side?
I'd be surprised if you need sealant. I would try refitting it with a light smear of grease on each side. It should also help to locate it and keep it in place. Although thinking about it blue hylomar might be better than grease as it won't dissolve or melt. So I'd do that not grease.
Also double check the cleanliness of the surfaces.
As it's a higher milage bike (right?) it's probably worth investing in a Hyanes manual.

I've been trying to fix numerous items on the street triple, one being the water inlet which broke in half when trying to remove it. I've replaced it with a new one and gasket but when I tried it this morning it was leaking from it.
I may have creased the gasket or something? however I assume it doesn't require sealant, etc?
