Default Sealant or Gasket for AIR Block Off Plate??

Removed my AIR and used high temp sealant on block off plates but now drivers side leaking. Should I just use factory gaskets??

what color sealant did you use? normally the copper stuff is the only one that will hold up to exhaust. or use the stock gaskets.

Alum/Steel block plates with "ULTRA COOPER GOLD" silicone works perfect!

Tried the red stuff first. Worked fine on passenger side but after two attempts drivers side is still leaking. Is the copper silicone better than just using new oem gasket???
