Default Need suggestion for sealant nose cone to tranny

I'm about to put back the nose cone on my transmission case. Could you give me some ideas of products on the market that I could use on the case and nose cone that are not too hard to find? I have a couple of auto store here like NAPA and bumper to bumper.
Thank's in advance.

The recommended product for camshaft cover to engine (similar situation??) is Loctite 5900 or #Bond(aka DreiBond). 5900 needs to be warmed in a tub of hand-hot water for 15+minutes to make it flow easily. 3Bond is easier to apply. Victor Reinz makes good sealants - Reinzosil or Reinzoplast ?

But is it any better than Permatex 51813 ?

That stuff (Victor Reinz) works great on everything! One tube usually last multiple jobs. It's great and you can pick it up for a nice fair price.

Based on the tech specs in the previous link, it seems that Permatex 51813 is perfect.

Could I use the same stuff for the engine crank case of my 1970 911T ?
It is the next car to go in the operation room for engine oïl leaks. I know we can't make these engine perfectly leakless but I want to do the best job I can

Permatex grey Ultra has a higher heat range. I know it is futile to suggest Loctite or 3Bond or Reinz because they are not availble near you.That chart I posted shows the recommended application and specs for Permatex Grey Ultra
Good luck with your new project !

If you have enough of the previous tube (51813) remaining, the specs indicate that would be good enough?

Thank's but believe me I will be sure to get the right stuff to do that job of getting rid of engine oïl leaks on my old 911. It will be the second time I do that
I did'nt have the right sealant the first time
