"Right Stuff" instead of a cut gasket for oil pan?

[Pat Crash]

My mechanic has had a terrible time with an oil pan leak.  We've tried a new pan, gaskets, sealant with no luck. The mechanic has stuck in there, but he is getting frustrated.  Leak is coming from the rear of the pan (we are not leaking from the rear main seal or back of intake).

Has anyone tried using just "The Right Stuff" gasket maker without a cut gasket?

Also, is there a gasket out there that anyone recommends for a tough leak.  I've seen a Felcoid (???) and a rubber gasket.  

I don't want the mechanic to give up.

Im a professional mechanic. i use "the right stuff" in place of a gasket everyday. Best stuff i ever used. EVER.

i'll warn you though... once you glue something on with this stuff you won't need the bolts anymore cause it sticks THAT good.

to use any rtv sealer the surface has to be absolutely clean and oil free though or you'll have another leak. that means it needs to be scraped and sanded, then sprayed with degreaser (brake cleaner) and wiped dry with a clean rag.

 As for a gasket I like the Fel-Pro rubber gasket, they seem to work good and last, at least for me. Even the rubber impregnated cork ones are better than pure cork. Check your pan bolt holes and see if the surrounding area is not protruding upwards. This will make it near impossible to keep it from leaking. You can correct it by taking a ball peen hammer and set the peen end over the hole and strike with another hammer, this will flatten it back out. Just remember not to over torque when reassembling. If all else fails, like Brutus-T-Hog said "glue" it on and it will stay for sure, it will conform to any shape. Good luck.

Have only seen 2 leaky pans that I couldn't fix with a hammer and maybe a chisel.  (Both of those that weren't fixable were torn apart, so...)
