I seem to be inept at replacing the oil pan gaskets. The first two times I used RTV, this last time I used gaskets. IT STILL LEAKS!!!!

Was I supposed to coat the gaskets with a sealant? RTV or the stand-alone gasket maker stuff?

ECS sent me the wrong gasket, it was for a 1.8t. It looked a hell of alot better, copper gasket with rubber on the inside. I have replaced the exhaust gaskets (between down pipe and manifold) with home made aluminum ones that work great (and are reusable). Would a home made copper gasket is this case be best? What else am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!

You shouldn't need to coat the gaskets with RTV. Bentley Manual only shows the gaskets.

Yes, that is why I didn't put anything on them. But they are LEAKING!!!! AHHHHH!!!!

I wish volvo still made a rear wheel drive car...
