Default Leaking remote oil take off plate

So I have one of these crap design take-off plates.

The hose connections and the plate itself have been making a mess on the garage floor for a while so I finally got around to pulling it off.

The take-off plate has now been honed flat so it should take a proper gasket without leaking.

Before i try to fix this back on, have a few questions I'm hoping people over the pond can answer

- correct the bolt sizes used on the take off plate?(one of them looks like a cut-down job that I want to replace it)
- suggested torque should i use on mounting bolts?
- recommendations for gasket sealant please, if any is needed. (read somewhere about coating in oil first?)
- recommendations on getting the hose connections to stop leaking.

Many thanks,
kevin
