Reply to "Seeking suggestions to fix oil pan leaks"

I will try not to do it that way!

After looking at the gasket leak some more, it is clear to me that I will need to replace the gasket again.  This time around I will do it in two steps.  I have access to a bare engine block and will glue the gaskets with Right Stuff to the pan and then bolt the pan to the bare block and let it sit overnight.  Using the bare block allows to me to visually verify that the gaskets are seated correctly.  The next day I will remove the pan from the bare block, apply sealant to the gasket faces and press it up into my engine.  I tried to do it in one step the last time and ended up with the leak at the front.
