While changing the gasket I discovered some little cracks/fissures

they do not affect the integrity of the bowl, but I'm afraid about leaking, do I need any sealant (and wich one) ?

thank you and happy new Year :dr11:

I would reassemble with just the seals first and see what happens.
Could these be original marks from manufacture?
The picture seems to show a curve on one edge?

Roby,
If you do go down the sealant route I think Hylomar do a oil/fuel resistant sealant/gasket.
Search on Amazon for fuel sealant, I think it's Hylomar F/SL303 or similar.
When you put it on the joint keep it to the outside of the seal.
Hope it helps.
