I torqued the oil pan to 130 in lbs like the book called for and it seems like I am leaving a couple of drops in the driveway and it seems to be coming out of the weephole in the bellhousing dust cover. I used RTV around the rear main and about one inch into the flats on the block. Do you guys think that a little bit more torque could cure this or am I going to have to pull the pan back out??
