You wont be able to fix it permanently with silicone - there is a special foam rubber washer (called a doughnut washer because of its shape) that is fixed between the cistern and the toilet pan. Yours is distorted and requires renewing. The cistern has to be unbolted from the pan to get access to this, unfortunately.
