It is possible , if the gasket material was compromised enough and is saturated enough it might allow the oil to continue to pass thru it and the sealer/silicone or whatever may not adhere to the gasket , allowing the oil to continue to flow thru where the leak is ...follow ?? , in other words if the cases are tight , and the gasket is leaking , then there is most likely a compromise or gasket damage or deformation allowing the leak, not saying its the case , just saying , if you try to seal it and still notice any seepage or it actually leaking afterwards , then yea , you will have to start over and replace that gasket..... , hoping it does not happen , but keep a eye on it , you will know pretty quick especially after a few heat cycles
