There's nothing wrong with using gasket sealant/maker instead of the OEM gasket. If you're really not happy with a drop of fluid every couple days, take the diff out, clean the mating surfaces of the cover and the housing, and re-do the gasket (with the diff supported by jackstands/etc, driveshaft end facing down, so you don't have empty out all the 'new' fluid) using RTV silicone or the OEM gasket.
