need quick help!!! Oil pan gasket

[88-378]

Take a look at the pic. the pan is leaking in this and th other corner. nowhere else.

Should i gently pry it off the corner (i put a dab of rtv in these corners only)
claen it up and put another dab of rtv or similar?

Or, just replace the gasket?

I always put a thin coating all around the pan and a bead at the front and rear even with the permadry 1pc gasket....taking it loose and adding most likely wont work. Make sure all the bolts are snug...

so thin coat on the pan side? and a bead at the front and rear corners?

I bought a new gasket.

Well, I found a few pics on the web of where to put the bead and thin film.

I put it all on the block side, let it sit for about 5 minutes, set the gasket, then the pan. Torqued it all down, no leaks. (so far, knock on wood) I drove it about 25 miles and let it idle a bit before.

Need to adjust the clutch a little and i may change shifter handles.

no tire rub yet either. just a hare on the inside front ground effect/spoiler.

Well, I saw a few drops on the floor this morning. I have put about 275 miles on it.. Nothing major but I want perfection!

Maybe I will pull the engine over the winter when i am bored. I have a feeling that I will lose my mind this winter if i have nothing to do! LOL
