Water pump replacement, a couple of questions

It is time to replace the water pump in my 2002 9-5 Linear, 75k miles. There has been a small lose of coolant over the last month or so with a small puddle from time to time just inside of the passenger front tire.
After reading most of the posts here regarding this job I have purchased an OEM water pump as well as viton o rings and a bottle of Nylog blue.
Just a couple of questions: 1. Is it necessary to use a sealer of any kind in addition to the oem paper gasket when joining the pump to the housing? 2. Does the passenger side engine mount truly need to come out or, with a bit of extra patience can the job be done leaving it in? 3. The last post I saw regarding Viton o rings was from 2020...any follow up yea or nea observations? I'm in southeastern Wisconsin, temps rarely get below -15. 4. Anything I might be missing?
Thank you in advance for any and all advice!
