Maybe the pan?
When mine was leaking, it was just the gasket.

Are you 100% positive that its coming from the oil pan? It could have dripped from somewhere else and eventually dripped on the side of the pan. Anyways, if you think it is, maybe you have a warped oil pan. It happened to me after i welded my oil return on my pan.

I am 100% positive because each time that I do my oil pan it leaks from random places.

How can I tell if the oil pan is "warped" it looks fine to me.

Sounds like your oil pan is warped.
If you use sealant and install the gasket properly you should have zero leaks. So it must be your pan.

the pcv valve? it builds up pressure and sends the oil squirting out of the oil pan? i noticed my leaks are only when i stop and the car is SHUT OFF. then oil will come down like its raining. But when my car is idling at a stop it doesnt leak.

Yea that sounds like a good idea. If it ends up being warped, just pick up a new one. D series pans go for pretty cheap. Good luck

umm...i did my oil pan gasket too, and i didn't know that you're supposed to throw away the old crush washers (four of them). i reused them and i had a leak again. the new gasket comes with crush washers inside the rubber. that was my experience. did u throw out the old washers?
