Are you sure it is the pan gasket? Oil leaks down and if it is something like a the front pump, dipstick tube, or shift shaft seal it will get the gasket wet and make it look like it is from there. Mined was from shift shaft seal and I just replaced mine about a month ago I also pulled the pan off mine so I can remark the level for the dipstick since it was a aftermarket unit. I reused the old pan gasket and it sealed up fine.

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Is the pan rail warped? Remove the pan and lay it on a flat surface. May be time for a new pan.
that and loose the cork gasket , they are crap .
the delser has a hard gasket with o rings that is supposed to work well

Totally agree, I replaced my gasket 3 times, before I figured out it was leaking from 4 other places!

Hopefully it's not the low /reverse shaft o-ring seal  .
if it is good time for a rebuild. Another problem in the same area is the tailshaft snap ring gasket. Do as mentioned above and you'll have the answer

Yes that new type gasket is trick ... but way overkill IMO.

I can't believe you said that.For a $10.00 gasket anyone would be a fool not to use it instead of the old cork or rubber.

I can Bill , the doc is so tight he squeaks when he walks , he would rather use a cork gasket and 5 bucks worth of RTV than buy a REUSABLE gasket 
of course now I'll get harassing emails and other barbs thrown at me for stating the OBVIOUS .

Ive reused that reusable gasket twice now (with NO RTV) so Im ahead of the game. Oh ya, it didnt leak or squish out either and that makes it worth every cent I paid

We have one day of good weather so I have to decide today, cork or the good one which is going to cost me $21.53 at the dealer. I'll have to try the baby powder trick as I've been fooled several times on where they're leaking.
