RTV silicon. High heat silicone and high temperature sealant.
Use google to find it.

The RTV sealan. I am using now was bought by a mate, it's meant for sealing oven door glass and seems to cope with the heat of the expansion chamber well.
Cost about £6.00 for a tube that fits in a mastic gun.

Similar stuff, the one I'm using is supposed to resist temperatures upto 300c I think.

Will find out what the make is and let you know!!!

use cheapo bathroom silicon from B+Q (no, i dont live there!) the one that smells of vinegar. smear loads round joint, clamp up, leave overnight, scalpel off excess. no leaks. about 3.50 a (massive) tube. ive used it for years, and it works, and easy to get, and cheap.
