Yeah, that’s an RMS leak, traveling right down the pan rails. I used the BOP one piece oil pan gasket but not their RMS. I tried a 2 piece and it was a leaker despite putting serrations in the seal groove, filling the anti-rotation holes and setting the block -half first followed by the cap-half, trimming for an interference fit, etc. leaked after 15 minutes of running. The BOP gasket was installed just like the multi piece with silicone sealant at the corners and under the rear pan seal. Trick is to degrease the gasket from whatever they use as a mold release so the silicone sticks.
