The silicone gasket does seem to offer the promise of a better seal here? It is worth exploring under what circumstances it might work? I suppose it depends how bad the joint is at the moment - the odd drip in the drip tray is not a problem.
With any given engine, there are a lot of variables - most of which are under control when the engine is fully dismantled - but it sounds like it would be a leap of faith with the engine in the car? To disturb all this and end up with more of a leak (and the potential for further damage) would not be clever.
