There is no gasket on the timing cover (into which the oil pump housing bolts) while there is one on the valve cover (black cover on top of engine).
You should be using Permetex (or Loctite) 518 (or other anaerobic sealer) on the timing cover when you reinstall.
For the oil pump, there is an o-ring that seats in the back side of the oil pump housing, in a somewhat eccentric pattern around the outside. This should be replaced; don't use gasket maker here. Also, I'm sure you're going to install a new front oil seal into the oil pump housing -- if not, plan to do so. These things may not be leaking right now, but they're worth doing while you're in there rather than later.
Don't forget to prime the oil pump when you reinstall, by packing it with vaseline, so that you're assured it will create suction when you first start the engine.
