You'll need to pull the top timing cover off and see where the leak is
coming from; or it could be coming from the rear cam, or even the crank.  I
always polish the shaft when I replace a seal; also its easy to warp one
when installing it.  As for the oil pan, there is a rubber seal front and
rear, and silicone sealant along the sides.  FelPro makes the set; also
available from ShoNut and RockAuto I believe.
