For this type of setup in general, a bit of Permatex Aviation Sealer ( Not Gasket Shellac ) anywhere there is a metal to metal joint that leads from oil to the outside is a good idea. Just be sure to use it sparingly as we don't want it on the sealing lip area. I don't know what the manual suggests.
