  1. first of all are you the one that changed the gasket? did you use an actual gasket or RTV sealant?

    If you did the repair and used RTV sealant 3 things to check

    A) when you applied the sealant to the pan, did you clean the surface of engine block and pan of all old gasket material before applying the new rtv sealant?

    B) when you applied the RTV sealant to the pan did you make sure you made your pattern of sealant go behind the holes for the bolts? if your pattern was in front of the hole (meaning near outer edge of pan) then when you put pan in place and put bolts in and tighten the rtv sealant can be squeezed out and the leak can come out the bolt(s)

    C) you could have a hairline crack in pan…

    start over and check everything again…sounds like you made a mistake during the repair attemp…

    good luck
