Default size tap for oil pan

i might have over tightened the oil pan to the chain cover and just want to make sure because there is a little oil coming out

Are you talking about the oil pan to front cover bolts? If so, those are M8x1.25.

Dwayne, when I put mine together this time I put blue RTV on bottom of TC cover and a little dab on the corners of the oil pan and no problems now. When I did the last cam it leaked so I did this to fix the problem.
