Take the pan back off. Make sure the flange around the pan is flat all the way around. If it isn't, back it up and take a fine faced hammer and planish it back to where there are no dips between pan holes. If you have to, turn the pan upside down so the flange is facing the bench (steel bench prefered) and use a wide drift punch or brass round (edges chamfered) and tap it down dead flat. Start at the holes and work both ways to the center.

Use permatex blue silicone. Run a bead all the way around the pange flange, on the outside of the holes, all that is needed is a bead about 1/8" wide or a touch more. More is not better. After you have the flange bead of silicone on around the outside of the bolt holes, lay semi circle beads of silicone around the bolt holes and join them back up to the main bead you ran earlier. Drop the gasket on and do the same thing on the engine side. Make sure everything is squeaky clean, NO OIL ANYWHERE!

When you get ready to lift the pan into place, have a few pan bolts ready with silicone around the threads near the head to hang the pan, silicone the rest of the bolts as well and hand tighten. Then tighten the bolts to snug, (about 2/3rds of the way tight, dont squish out the cork gasket, tighten to where it just starts to squish out, pay attention), let it sit 24 hours. If that doesnt get it, I have not a clue, outside of a blocked breather.
