Water Pump Query

[lanciamad]

I'm changing the water pump on my IE, everything has gone very smoothly so far with much better access to it than I first thought. I've got the new pump (which is the right one ) it comes with the gasket to fit pump to block but there's no gasket for pump to lower water rail.
I was going to use some instant gasket silicone sealant, is this the norm? or should it come with a gasket of some type?

It's an O Ring and didn't come with my last pump either. Don't think sealant will be ideal. It's a common size and comes in a lot of DIY plumbing waste kits.

It's an O Ring seal. It might even be a square section one but I'm not sure. You'll be able to get one to do the job from fleabay or any bearing factor.

Ok thanks for clearing that up guys, i'll see if my local motor factor has a suitable o ring I can buy.
