okay guys i am already pissed off with this crap. i have tried sealing my oil pan 4 times since i turboed my car. First i reused that stock gasket it didn't work. Then i used a brand new oem rubber gasket and rtv silicone, then right stuff, then i used right stuff with a brand new oil pan and it still is not sealed. 2 bolts have been broken and it is leaking on the complete other side from where they are broken. i think they might be overtightened cuz i don't have a torque wrench. If anybody has any ideas that can help me out please tell.

Here's an idea - get a torque wrench. They're really useful. Rubber gaskets squirm around & leak when they're overtightened.
Well, fix the broken bolts, too.

 

umm...i am trying to fix the broken bolts but it is not as easy as it sounds.

 

Take a small drill and tap into the broken bolts. If anything get a book that tells you how to repair broken bolts. Its not that hard, just time consuming. Get two new bolts for the oil pan an your set.

 

I would definitely recommend a torque wrench since making sure the bolts are torqued right makes all the difference. especially with the ruber gasket. gotta replace mine soon aswell cause i have a small barely little leak, but i just want to replace it since its probably just gettin old
