How waffled am I? (s52 oil leak)

On a scale of 1-waffled, you are .5

Meh, I resealed the oil pan. Haven't put oil in it yet though or ran the motor.. Wasn't too bad to reseal.

I did the whole gasket, top and bottom. No leaks.

so did it end up being the oil pan gasket?

i have the exact same leak. the same spot and it only leaks after i get done driving it just like yours. so i was getting ready to do the oil pan gasket until i read this, now i'm wondering if it is the timing cover.

Yeah I put RTv all the way around the oil pan and heavey in the corners.

yess its the oil pan gasket.. I fixed it by applying more rtv and evenly spreading it around.. I think the first time I forgot to smear the drop of rtv and it didnt seal properly.. lol

I put a nice layer of Honda bond on my oil pan gaskets, never have any leaks.

I coat the entire block in the right stuff and slap the gasket on there.
They leak because the alum front timing cover and rear main expand/contract at different rates than the cast block thus they bleed through the seam right there :(.
