For the sump I'd use only the special sealant from Toyota as they dont have a sump gasket as such. You shouldnt need any sealant for the cam covers, although I got told to use some on the covers where they go over the cams.

Just any black gasket sealant will do, Selleys make one and theres a cheaper version made by someone else which I use and works well
