How do you know it seems to be leaking oil? Are you seeing oil spots/puddles on the ground?

The oil gasket people are talking about is the oil pan gasket. It's in between the oil pan and the block.

To replace it:

Drain oil
Remove pan and old gasket material
Re-install new pan with new gasket
Add oil
Drive

For torque specs and the order to remove and tighten the bolts in your best bet is a service manual such as a Helms.

Not 100% sure, 15-20 bolts.
