Gasket fits and seals properly. Drove the car to a lot 5 miles and my kids 15 miles home with no leaks. I was driving to a friend's house 25 miles away in Houston in the 99 degree heat and spotted a small puddle under a car in the restaurant parking lot. Came home 3 hours later and the gasket felt too tight like plasticine on some sides even though the torque is within specs! I encountered a bulge where I could lick and the seal had ruptured! There could be 3 factors: 1. Tighten the bolts less than specified, but you risk leaking. 2. I tried to score the edges of the pan as evenly as possible, but maybe not well enough. You may need a perfectly flat new pan for that seal. 3. Outside temperature of 98 degrees is too high for rubber pads.
