Thanks. I should not expect oil to swap through gasket??

they tend to leak as well. but ive found the bolts to be the source a few times now. when i did my pan gasket i used a thin smear of rtv on the block and pan and sealed the bolts, no leaks 3 years later.
the trannys pans the pan gets dimpled around the bolt holes and sometimes and needs to be hammered flat again. stock fat gasket works best, its re usable. the thin gasket that comes with a new filter is trash.
the oil pan, id clean it up with brake cleaner, then try sealing all the bolts with the thread sealant first. then keep an eye on it for leaks, if it still leaks theres links on yt for the pan drop, you need a engine hoist to lift the engine up some and remove the ac compressor.
some times you think the pan is leaking and its a valve cover too. best to de grease the whole thing, do the pan bolts drive and keep checking for a leak. you can wipe under the lip of the valve covers to see if they are wet with fresh oil too.
