I'm getting ready for jobs over the Christmas holidays.

I'm planning on bleeding the clutch to replace old fluid. Whats the best sealant to use to replace what's currently surrounding the cover on the inner wing?

I always thought that the whole car was held together with Sikaflex...

Wouldn't bother with anything else.

I use External Roof and Gutter sealant from B&Q, they do a Bitumen one and a Silicone one, make sure you get the silicone one as they both look very similar. I think its made by EvoStick.

Don't use a super-sticky sealant as you'll do damage when you go to open it next time.

As much as I hate silicone, when I have to use it I always use the sanitary-grade stuff as it is mould-resistant.

And make sure the silicone doesn't get anywhere near mild steel or you'll have rust within hours.
