Are you SURE that teh spring clips are properly clipped over the 
sheet metal so that they are on the outside of the body? I've never 
seen a problem with these unless the clips weren't seated right. 
And I've seen a LOT with the clips just dangling free in the INSIDE 
of the body.

You could use some gasket compound if you really have to, but 
keep in mind that I have NEVER seen this to be necessary if the 
parts are all put back together right.
