I have tried to replace this gasket 4 times now. I have a brand new pan, and I always torque to 8-10 foot pounds. From the looks of it, it leaks down the bolts somehow. I always see the oil welling up on a couple of bolts. I have tried rubber, cork, and fiber composite gaskets. I never use rtv or any sealant as it is not recommended, but I am about ready to put some on out of desperation, just have to be careful not to let it squeeze out to the inside of the pan. It is not a huge leak, but it frustrates the hell out of me that I cannot seem to stop a simple leak, and I am tired of seeing that oil on my garage floor. And it is only ten bucks for a new gasket so every couple of weeks I'll try again, and I'll probably be trying again this weekend too.
If anyone has experience with this give me a clue.
