drain the oil take all the bolts out of the pan so you can lower it don't have to completely remove it from the car clean it and any gasket surface the best you can use break cleaner let every thing dry the do your best to run a bead of silicone glue around the flange of the pan wait about 15 minutes and put the bolts back in just tight enough to ooze the the glue out a little bit now wait about an hour and tighten the bolts just tight don't over tighten them make sure you drain the pan of any cleaner and run a quart of oil through the motor with the drain plug out to clean out any debris that may have gotten in the pan now replace the oil and do your thing but the next day check the bolts to be sure they are still tight
