197/200 water pump

[Ianboom]

Changing the cam belt on my 197.
Taken the water pump off and it looks like there was a little silicon on the threads of 2 bolts.
Is this a precautionary measure?
Any idea what the torque figure is?
Main online manual covers sod all on the 2.0 engine.
Thanks

Will it not just be a bit thread locker?

FYI

Coolant pump bolts require NO silicone or thread lock.
Tightening torque is 17nm
