Default Take Brent's recommendation and don't get bit.
Brent is correct again. I got bit by the Edelbrock FE waterpump leak from backing plate. The sealant used during original assembly appeared to be similar to 3M Super 77 multi-purpose spray adhesive. I cleaned up both surfaces with acetone, replaced captured O-ring gasket, applied silicone sealant to both surfaces, and then reassembled.
NO MORE LEAK.
