LG WM2487HWM Leaking from the heating element

I just replaced the bearings on my LG WM2487HWM and everything went well, expect it is now leaking around the housing of the heating element. It only seems to be held in there by the tension between the rubber seal inside the element housing and the tub opening (no screws). So, I have 2 questions: 1) Is the water inside under pressure? if not, can I use a small amount of something like "Flex Seal" around the outside of the tub and inside the lip of the housing, to help create a better seal? BTW, I already have done it, just want to know if I screwed up before I test it tonight, I have tipped the tub forward and no water is coming out now, so I feel pretty good about it. Thanks in advance. Brandon
