Finally got that old Detroit Diesel 8.2L to stop weeping oil from the valley pan

After three tries with different gasket makers, a thin coat of aviation sealant on the pan rails before the gasket finally did the trick. Anyone else have a go-to for those stubborn, low-pressure leaks?

Aviation sealant, huh? Which brand did you end up using on the rails?

Tried the Pro-Seal PRC stuff. Made such a mess I think I sealed my own fingers together for a bit.
