Gasket goo

Is it better to just use the gasket goo by itself or use it with a paper gasket as well?
I'm trying to seal the bellhousing to the gearbox (A bellhousing to T-series T50), and my previous two boxes have leaked like a sieve.
In the first box I used 1 washer for each bearing, cleaned everything with turps and used gasket goo and a paper gasket. Held for a few days, then started leaking and got progressively worse.
In the second box used 2 washers for the output shaft to take up the slack and 1 washer for the lay shaft. Cleaned everything using kerosene (couldn't find the turps) and used gasket goo and another paper gasket. Leaked from day 1, lost virtually all my oil within a few days.
Now have 3rd gearbox, going to put the bellhousing on tomorrow or day after, someone suggested just using the goo by itself (btw I'm using the ultra blue stuff), but someone once told me a long time ago that using a paper gasket with the goo is better?
Any ideas?
