Take it off and check for warping of the mating surfaces. RTV is good because it will take up the gaps if it is warp'd, but kinda hard to do with the tiny amount of space you'd have, also clean off the surfaces throughly before trying again.

you need a flat edge, like the side of a ruler, place it along the face if there's any gaps then it's warp'd. RTV (romm temp vulcanising rubber) it's like bathroom sealant. I use marine grade stuff for my engine and have had no problems on my 20XE nor my 14XE using this.
