Default Core plug replacement

Another stupid question

I'm replacing the core plug above the crankseal - now that I've opened it up, this was definitely the source of my leak!

The core plug goes in with the flat side facing into the engine block, right? I had always assumed it had gone the other way

Also, does anyone know if I should be using a sealant when fitting the plug - and if so, what sealant?

Any other generic advice while doing this is appreciated - about to put everything back together
