I have an eheim classic-type (not a classic, but similar, round, and not 
an ecco) and that didn't come with such stuff.  I didn't grease the 
seal, and to date haven't had leaks... I do try and make sure it's 
seated right, and run in a bucket for a day or so after maintenance just 
to be sure though - had a leaky tap once, don't want a repeat of that!
