Default Leaking Oil

Just installed a new 418 short block from Texas Speed on Labor Day. On first start up once engine was warm it starting leaking oil between the back of the motor and bell housing. So last weekend I removed the transmission and install new seals and gaskets for the 2nd time again same problem. So this weekend I replaced them again and guess what same problem. So frustrating!! I have been using the ultra black RTV I am out of options other then taking it to a shop. Any advice would be much appreciated. This is on a 2010 camaro. Thanks

Why is this in Gen V??
Are you making sure the oil pan, rear cover and block are flush with a straightedge?

How are you venting the engine up top?
As G pointed out, you should have posted in gen4 section. You’ll get more response there also.

Have you tried another oil pan gasket yet? I've seen a couple of oil pan gaskets do that and one time I did a rear main and when I slid the rear main plate on it pushed the rubber off of the oil pan gasket and leaked bad.
