Oil pump cover sealing blues!(long)

I changed out the crank seal and oil pump cover seal.Still have a minor leak...not as bad as before but still noticeable drops of oil. I think I may have been a little overzealous in prying the cover off the dowels with a screwdriver(dont do that)....might have gouged the mating surfaces? I may try retightening all the bolts again to see if there is an improvement in stopping the leakage. I was wondering if I took off the cover and applied a thin layer of silicone or similar around the outermost edge of the pump cover then bolted it down,that that might make a better seal? I've heard that a small piece of silicone ,if it gets free, has been known to plug up an oil gallery with disastrous results...but I'm wondering if its possible to seal the cover in this way or if there is a better way?
