Thumbs down Another puzzling oil leak

Well after the first oil leak, which BTW ended up being the "hats" that hold the center stand were reversed pulling the crankcase apart, I fixed a second oil leak that was the crank seal on the right side of the engine. The seal behind the generator/flywheel bit the dust. Pulled the right crankcase cover off and replaced it. Now the gasket where the two halfs of the crankcase come together is leaking. Looks as if the gasket is being squeazed out like playdoh:



On the backside of the motor, right in front of the rear wheel. I'm wondering what caused this? Too much crankcase pressure? Or the sealer I used during assembly to seal the gasket:



What does everbody use to seal their gaskets during assembly? Or do you just put them in dry?
