Seriously, this is ridiculous. The oil dipstick leak is resolved. The original leak near the dipstick is resolved. The leak out the bolt hole is resolved. What's let now?

The leak in the back of the oil pan. I have a theory about this one that may or may not be dumb. Maybe the hex bolts I am using are not wide enough to apply the proper pressure on the four larger corner bolts? I had use the regular bolts on the front because the hex bolts I got were too long and there are no problems there. I will try changing them out on the back and see if my problem goes away. If it doesn't, I will spread gasket sealant on the entire back edge of the cover.
