Sounds like maybe your not putting hondabond on the gasket. Usually I just put a nice layer all the way around ontop of the gasket. clean is key. I use this stuff called KENT to hold the gasket on the pan while I postion it on the bottom of the block. Make sure you get off all the old gasket with a blade or something to get it cleaned off. When you go to reinstall put one bolt on one side and another 10 mm on the oppisite side. Just take your time. And also are you sure your oil pan gasket it leaking and not the rear main seal? There will be alittle bit around the pan of the gasket that you will seal. Make sure also that your putting the gasket in upright postion. There is a up and down.
When you tighten it down, when you reinstall it. You will see the gasket wrap itself around the pan. Should look like this all the way around. If you wern't so far away I would help ya out, Iam not doing shit this weekend.
