Snap ring compressor cover leaking, suggestions?

[Got Smoke?]

The snap ring compressor housing on my hx35 is leaking between the cartridge and housing. The leak is directly between the ears of the snap ring.

I did quite a bit of searching and everything I found said the hx35's are supposed to be machined fit between cover and cartridge no o-ring required.

Any thoughts? :bang

I have used some high temp sealant with good results.

Run a bead and allow it to dry before reassembly, or reassemble right away?

The thought crossed my mind....but I didnt like the idea of it possibly getting into the IC or engine?

I wouldn't allow it to dry before assembly.

I mean you could allow it to set up a little before you assemble it.
