Read the rest of the thread. The OP said this later on.
I agree wiith MM. Since I now do custom and hot rod work instead of woriking in a dealer, those cheap assed chrome pans, timing covers and valve covers have become the bane of my existance. They look pretty, but they'll all leak sooner or later. Usually much sooner than a plain steel or aluminum piece. I grind the chrome on the sealing surfaces, use a little Aviation Permatex, and it's good to go.

Yes, the OP revealed later on that the pan is chrome plated. That makes MM's reply a good guess and nothing more. Marsh also indicates that the cause could be a flawed pan (excluding that -chromed- is a flaw) which is it then?
That lucky guesses are good?
None of which makes Marsh the 'gawd" he thinks he is.
Guess? Possibly, but surely an educated one. I don't see you arguing with the fact that chrome pans are more likely to leak(as indicated above. Seeing that none of us but the OP can actually see and put our hands on the vehicle, we're *all* guessing, really.
Hey, it *never* hurts ot guess right.
Hmm, sounds like you've got issues. Won't get into it, nope, not at all.
Don't have the service manual to answer that one. Whatever it calls for, of course.
15ft lbs does sound like a bit much though. I'd probably stay in the
10-12 ft lb range. That's about the torque my Snap-On 1/4' drive air ratchet puts out at 90psi of shop air.
