The following procedure for the removal of the oil pump applies to the EJ20 turbo so use this information at your own risk.
The rubbery stuff you see is silicone sealant. You will need a tube of high-quality silicone for the re-installation. I don't have any recommendations for which type to get but read the packaging to make sure it fits your needs. Use only a thin bead of the product like the diagram shows - you don't want this stuff getting into the oil passages of the block.
