Oil pump assembly 912S

Dear Rotax Owners
I had small leakage from the oil pump for some time. just a few drops now and then but enough to do something about it. I did check the torques before removing the pump. All according to the spec.
After disassembly I found the O-rings a bit hard so I bought new set of O-rings.
Otherwise the pump looks very good.
According to the maintenance manual, section 79-00-00 3.1.4, I should apply Loctite 515
(5188 is the new version according to Loctite) in the area of the crack between the two crankcase halves. I will do that.
My question is: Is it wise to add a thin layer of Loctite 5188 along all contact areas between pump and crankcase ?
And even a very thin layer between pump cover and pump as well?
I always follow what the manual dictates but in this case it feels correct to add Loctite 5188 between these parts.
I am probably wrong.
Thanks in advanced
