Yes there is a sequence. I never use silicone. Don't overtorque the bolts, that will also cause the gasket to leak.

^ +1 over tightening it "smooshes" the gaset out the sides and causes it to leak.

could have stripped out the drain bolt too and that sometimes causes a slight leak. its rare but it could happen.

Use a honda oem gasket and make sure to clean up the nuts and bolts real good with brake clean, clean off the bottom of the block and do NOT over tighten. Oh yeah, what type of car is it? It may only require silicone in certain spots or none at all.
