Message	:for it. I would stick with the RTV. Might seem like a pain but it seals well. I like to use the Nissan Gasket Sealer for the Pan. Great product. Once the Bead is set I run my finger around the outer edge of the pan like a bead of Caulk to remove the excess and fill in the cracks for a better seal. Especially around the front and rear Seals.
