Try a heat gun or a hair dryer to soften up the sealer. They tend to harden up after so many years.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

a hair dryer should loosen it up enough to get a straight edge under goop. get some new sealant at your parts store. I used RTV sealant but I am not happy with it. Use the ethyl compound used for winshields.
