actually, as i recall, and according to the honda parts catalog (items # 22 and 23) there are washers on both the fill and drain plugs.
the OEM bolt, with the washer, torqued to spec, should NOT LEAK at all. if you need to use gasket sealer, you either need a new washer, or your bolt is not tight enough.
