are you sure there isn't a crack in the block or the oil pans? i'd start over with a new gasket and sealer first, then go from there.

you should be using Hondabond not RTV gasket maker!!!! That's probably your problem...go to 
and get some bond...make sure the surfaces on the block and pan are free from any kind of old gasket and make sure not to over tighten the bolts...get a Helms and torque the bolts to spec...should solve all your problems....
