Just finished replacing the rear main seal, oil pump, oil pan and gasket. Went for a drive this morning and it was great. The oil pressure was very steady at about 50 psi on the highway and 20 at idle. ....... However, when I went home for lunch I peeked underneath and sadly saw it was leaking oil. It was leaking worse than before I replace everything. Put the car on ramps and crept underneath for a quick look. Seemed like it was leaking at the oil pan corner of the rear passenger side. I used the Milodon crushproof gasket and it looks like it squeezed out past the pan about 1/4" (see picture). Also thinking back on this, it was causing the transmission dust cover to push against the flex plate.
Is it possible to fixt this without removing everything again, center-link and pan. My thought is to unthread the bolts enough to allow me to push the rubber gasket back into place and then retighten.
