Hello

I have two parts linked with bolts, containing oil (it is a gear reducer)
so the seal will have the shape of the common area between these two parts
like this seal for example http://ills.bmwfans.info/ar66.png

how to get it automatically? if possible with update if I change the parts

thank you

COPY the shape from the first part, and PASTE SPECIAL WITH LINK to the second part as well as the seal part.
 
What MrCatia said, then you want to do a boolean operation within part design workbench called intersect. Intersect will generate a solid of the common area.
