Not sure exactly what you're asking.
Almost any sealer (or grease) should be suitable for this low stress area.
I always thought there was a gasket between the arm and the rear drive.

It surprised me as well... I've always fitted final drives with a gasket but when I checked the parts list I found that Monos aren't specified with a gasket at that location. This is confirmed by the 'Parts Use' listing which shows them only for machines up to '84. Can't see that it makes a great deal of difference really whether you fit a paper gasket or use a sealant. I guess just about any instant gasket would do the job...

I recently had to replace my driveshaft (97K miles and the UJ had become notchy). On reassemlby I used Hylomar Blue sparingly and so far not a trace of oil.
