Not if you get a genuine gasket, but apparently the aftermarket gaskets are not quite as good at sealing - so I would use it if I got an aftermarket one..
Better to use it anyway imo

i'd say have it done anyway. on a clean surface & give it a full 24 hours to cure just to be sure.

Even using an OEM cam cover gasket you must use sealant at the corners of the cam seals and around the CAS bit (technical term). If you don't - it will leak.

But the bloody CAS seal is leaking
