When I had my rear end shop I smelled like that every day for 15 years.

And to seal it up...use just a quality gasket with or without silicone?

And, yes, a good gasket alone. Both surfaces white towel clean with acetone and dry.

I put a film of RTV on both sides of the gasket. You will hear 20 different ways of doing it. Some people have completely quit using gaskets, but that didn't work out too well for me.

When I use RTV, the only one I use is Ultra Black gasket maker, and Freddie's extensive experience is right, applied correctly, it is helpful. Next step for me, is, it needs to "cure" for 24 hours before I will introduce any fluids too.

I have more often than not had leaks in my 12 bolt cover, with or without gasket, with or without black RTV. That is until I started using Permatex's 81182 Gear Oil gasket maker. I still use the gasket but put a thin layer of this on both sides and have not had a leak since. Like others have stated, give it overnight to set and you will have no issues.
