I assume you mean the bead that was beneath the top cover/handle enclosure. I too have recently repaired the hand pump and found I could easily re-use the same sealant by carefully removing and re-applying same.
Father-in-law however, following a similar repair, applied some plumbers mait such as this from Screwfix

Hi

Unless you tow with a fairly full flush tank it's hardly likely to leak out.

I didn't bother to replace it on mine.

I tow with just enough flush fluid for the journey.
