Re: Oil sump
Yes a black silicone that's designed for the job. I got some from RS components years ago part number 283-426 but the price of it is now crazy.

The most important thing and probably the hardest is removing all the oil from both surfaces. Your essentially gluing it on so you need an adhesive more than a sealant.
Standard high temp sealants will not work, they simply do not form a strong enough bond.
Expensive but what else would you expect from something specified by Rolls Royce Aerospace.
I have used it to actually build up a corroded surface on a washing machine shaft before fitting a Viton seal on top of it, it sticks like mad.
