I have an oil pan leak on the front right corner of the pan (seems to be from the bolt) of my M. Dropped the pan cleaned up both surfaces and with a new gasket, she still leaks from the same place, any tips, tricks or techniques here?

The key point is to make sure the pan is straight.

They usually get bent by overtightening the bolts trying to stop a leak.

A little time with a framing square and a ball peen hammer can do wonders. Sometimes all that is required is ding the edges of the holes back to a flat condition.

Paper gaskets worked well for many years, but Form-a-gasket is easy, just read the instructions and avoid putting on too much or assembling too soon.

I use the form-a-gasket stuff, AND a gasket, it seems to work better than the normal gasket stuff. Look very closely at the leak, if you are sure it is from around the bolt, remove the bolt and fill the hole with sealer, that may (or may not) stop the leak. Unless the pan is absolutely straight, you will probably always have a drip or two.

Maybe some of that Form-a-gasket would work. The pan could be bent slightly?
