Keep a pan or a piece of cardboard under it.

Wipe it down underneath at oil change time.

Just drive it, life’s too short to worry big about a small issue.

That's my second favorite joke.... I designed a Harley Davidson oil pan gasket.... It's a tray you slide underneath the engine when you park it.

I'd check things out. If its leaking from the RMS and doesn't get worse I'd live with it. Sometimes you can get an old engine sealed up perfectly. A lot also leak. If you watch an old Adam 12, Emergency or Starsky and Hutch pay attention to the helicopter shots of the roads. They're literally oil slicks down the middle of the lanes in all of the scenes. All the engines back then leaked oil. Technology has gotten better for modern engines to be leak free.The Pontiac RMS have got worse. The material oil pan gaskets are made from has got worse. If GM couldn't keep them from leaking when they were new, I wouldn't expect 50 years and many miles of wear to improve the situation. If you do change the seal you have three seals you've tried and failed. Choose the fourth one wisely.
