The part I was suggesting you use Permatex on is the one pictured. I like Permatex High Tack because when you remove a part that you installed with it it cleans up nicely with just lacquer thinner and a paper towel. No scraping or chipping an old gasket off. You can even use it without a gasket. I even used it once to seal the cylinder heads to cylinder after removing the copper head gasket on my 73' Kaw 500 triple.
The countershaft seal is located directly behind your front or countershaft sprocket. On my Honda 500 you have to remove the engine and split the crankcases to get it out. I don't know about the Ninja - probably the same thing. No, Permatex won't fix that only a replacement seal. You're probably OK though. You would probably have to have something like 200K miles on your bike to wear that out.
