David: Even without knowing the specifics of the application, I'd steer clear of cork. Cork is mainly used for low-pressure applications, and probably will not hold up under even the modest pressures of an older hydraulic system. The "grey paper" is more than likely a lower-grade gasket sheet with a nitrile rubber binder. This should hold up (from a chemical compatibility standpoint) to hydraulic fluid, but may also give problems under elevated pressures due to low tensile strength. However, it's probably the better choice of the two you mentioned. Be wary of using sealant on a hydraulic system--if you put too much on, it can extrude into the sealed cavity, break loose, and clog your system.
