Have changed oil pan gasket 3 times, 1st time used 2 paper looking gaskets that I bought from auto repair store. 2nd time used 1 paper looking gasket with ultra blue rtv silicone gasket maker. Third time used just ultra black maximum oil resistance rtv silicone gasket maker, and of course every time I wire cleaned pan and scraped off old silicone and oil pan does not look bent or warped. Still leaking from same spot

If a U.S. Made Corolla, you don't use a gasket, you use an RTV called "The Right Stuff" (I think thats what it is called).

Comes in a bottle that is pressurized, after application you have 20 munites to put on pan.

Lay pan on flat surface to make sure it is not warped.
