First off if they've been laying around for a while are they past the expiration date? If so, you need to toss them out anyway.

That aside, I didn't see anywhere in that PDF file where it says this stuff is oil resistant. If it's not, the differential fluid will break down the sealant and cause leaking.

why not give the sealer a go. i got some rtv ultra black in a caulk tube thats at least a year old. i just used it for a valve cover gasket on a 2.5 and it was fine just make sure everything is super clean i use carb cleaner to get the surfaces nice and oil free so stuff sticks
