Hard to tell, but time for a replacement anyhow. I use the full valley pan type, torqued to 32 ft. lbs. I torqued all to 25 first, then 32. Also used 'the right stuff' sealant from autozone on the front and rear seals.
Here is the torque sequence. http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/misc/torque.html

That is a full valley pan type,it's the only type I've seen for a Buick v6.

Felpro 1200 are individual with no valley pan and used by many.
