Do you guys put a little RTV or any sealant around the O Ring or at the base of the transmission or should I just leave it as is. Thanks!!!!

Had a leaky dipstick once. swore I had it seated, my old man came along and pushed it in some more, problem solved 1973 Charger, former SE, former auto I'm not trying to be difficult, it comes naturally....
