Wicking thru the gasket...if the pan has been over torqued just 1 time, the areas around the holes will "cave in", and the gasket will not have an even load on it= leaks.

U may..
need to flatten the areas around the holes, when U get it off. Another problem I've seen, is cork gaskets, and cheapo papers, will wick, even if the pan rails are strait, and properly torqued.
When getting a gasket, get a good quality. I use Hylomar gasket dressing on mine. Helps some, and the gasket will come off easier, should removal be necessary.
