I thought exactly the same the other day as my engine bay is mint standard apart from that.
I thought of spraying it but that's just going to leave over spray. I may try and paint it finely with a brush.
No there should be a paper gasket, but I believe Renault don't sell it anymore as I tried to get one last year. You just need a sealing paste of some description.
