I have changed the oil pan gasket twice, oil crankshaft seal, and timing cover gasket. It did not dawn on me to check if the area that circled in Pic has gasket. I still have a leak.

Hi,

Is the area you circled the only area that is leaking? As far as a gasket, I attached a pic below showing the gasket. Also, the directions indicate the new gasket needs to have two cuts made in it before installing it. See pic 2.

Let me know if that is what you have been doing.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

It looks perfect. By any chance, did you check to make sure nothing is warped? That could cause the issue.

Let me know.
