Just a post for the archives I was picking up a gasket seal kit today
& the  OEM part shop I use suggested a product from WURT 'Rubber care'
http://www.superiorcarcare.net/w890110.html
to lube up the plastic vent insert & the filler pipe

They also suggested to use a
PERMATEX HYLOMAR HPF Gasket

m&item_no=25249
to seal the gromets/filler gasket
