Yeah, I think the TQ spec on the pan bolts is 12 ft lbs or something. It's REALLY easy to over-tighten, and once you do, the bolt holes in the pan get that little raised up bung look to them. You might have to take a hammer to get 'em flat and then torque 'em to spec. Also, go to NAPA and get a rubber gasket. Discount/AutoZone like to give you those shit cork ones. They're worthless.
