Mine started leaking a little bit recently.  I tried to tighten the
bolts a little, but they were already very tight.  Spec is only 7
ft/lbs.  So I decided to change the oil and replace the
gasket.  Yucky job.  Cleaned the pan inside and out, and the bolts,
and removed what was left of the old gasket. I noticed the pan did
not look real true on the sealing surface.  I put it back and
followed the torquing procedure.  7 ft/lbs, diagonally, repeat after
5 minutes, twice.  Started pumping oil into the pan and when it got
up high enough the thing started leaking.  I tried tightening a bit
more but it only helped a little.  I took the whole thing off and
caught the gear oil in a clean pan so I could re-use it.  Yucky job
again, and more so with a sprinkling of frustration added.   Soooo,
now what?  It's not like there is pressure in there.  Could a liquid
gasket product save me here?  Either with or replacing the stock gasket?

Thanks,
Edward
