Hi,

2 yrs ago, I removed the oil pan to do some maintnance on o-ring (lifter were ticking and someone told me to replace the sucker o-ring). I reinstall the oil pan with what I think was the right way to do it (boat patern, etc...). 2 weeks after the job was done, I realize that oil was comming from the pan seal... Exactly between the pan and the transmission. First, I though that my rear crank seal was blow again (which, at this mine, had already replaced the rear crank seal) So, assuming it was not the rear crank seal, I though that my oil pan seal was bad... so I redid the pan last summer (a year after the first try and a year before now approx.) When I removed the pan, I did saw oil on the liquid gasket area, so the my oil leak from the pan... After this second job on the pan (like 2-3 days after), things were getting worse... More oil was comming from between the oil pan and the transmission than I had before doing the job... So, I'm surely doing something wrong... I think I did apply enough "pink silicon" liquid gasket, I remove as much oil as I can from the liquid gasket contact surface with a degreaser and still have some problem sealing this oil pan... Maybe I'm doing something wrong when screwing back the pan in place? So, now, it's spring here in Canada and I'm willing to do the pan again for the third time... But want to make sure it wont leak again... Anyone got a tips or advice to give me? I'm pretty sure it's not the rear crank case seal ... (I remember how it leak bad when the seal is blow!!)

Thanks for any help in this case...
