JJAKE,
Just completed a complete rebuild on a 455 and the only problem I have is what your concerned about. The rear rubbers seal slipped after installation and now I have a leak. My plan to fix this by doing the following:
Remove pan and gasket and replace the rear rubber seal on the pan buy using hi temp. RTV on the backside only. Placing the pan back onto engine and installing the two rear pan bolts only to allow it to set up. Upon setup, inspect the seal for proper placement. Replace the rest of the gasket and apply sealer on top of rubber seal and tighten all bolt to spec.
Can't tell you how disappointed I was when this problem happened. Luckily it's the only mistake I made on my first rebuild.
Regards,
