RTV is simply a kind of silicone in a tube. It just means room temperature vulcanizing & all auto parts stores have it.
The differential covers are sealed with RTV silicone. There is no gasket.

On most cars a gasket is required along with the RTV sealant. A new gasket should have come with the water pump. Ask the parts house where you purchased the part.
just rtv black silicone
no, use rtv sealant
It is suggested that you use a high temp. RTV make a gasket. Be sure to remove all the old gasket and wipe all the oil from both surfaces, apply the RTV generiously, then bolt the pan on. Be sure to let it set for about 24 hours for it to fully cure and harden. It is suggested that you use a high temp. RTV make a gasket.

has to be heat resistant.
Never use RTV on a head gasket. Use a spray type sealer.
I am assuming you mean "rocker cover" gasket. All you have to do is simply take the cover off, peal away all the old gasket, clean both gasket surfaces, and then use a small amount of RTV silicone in the corners of rubber gaskets (NOT CORK GASKETS) and then re-install the new gasket in place of the old one.
you shouldn't need it on the gasket, but a little dab on each corner where the gasket meets the seal would be a good idea.
don't fix it!.. buy new head gasket is much better. In valve cover, just put gasket maker or silicon gasket maker.
