For paper gaskets, I sometimes like to give it a coat of grease. Helps it stick when you're installing it. For rubber/polymer gaskets, depending where it is I'll give it a coat of whatever oil it's sealing.

Don't worry so much about adding a sealant, worry about getting the mating surfaces in good shape. Then you won't have problems.
