CB650C clutch cover leak

Hello everyone, it is good to be back!
I moved from Tennessee to Florida, so have been out of touch a couple years! Nice to be back though! Anyway, I kept the Honda, and now have a question concerning a repair I did in Tennessee, that of a clutch case cover (right side of the engine, the right wall of the oil reservoir) gasket that started leaking after I attempted to check the clutch discs. I never got it to seal right, and it seeped oil afterward. Now I am back to riding again (at last!) I am attempting to see what can be done to seal that turkey. The gasket material I used was thin, but won't quite seal it. I was considering the gray silicone-like substance that they use on dirt bike engine cases, but if I recall that stuff is to seal cases that are frequently taken apart, and this is one I don't really desire to repeatedly crack open.
Secondly, has those gaskets for the rubber rings on the top of the heads gotten any more available of late? Last I checked, they were pretty rare, and I really got tired of the 650 peeing a little oil on my left leg every time we went out. My leathers started to get fouled! Ideas??
