My block has studs for the oil pan, so my pans tightened right up against the block. Thanks for the heads up though.

Does your motor have main studs also?
If so look at the rear of the oil pan and the oil pan gasket under the rear main seal and see if the #5 main studs are touching them scope
If so you may have found your oil leak before removing the rear main seal holder again luck
