In some cases, if the pan bolts are over tightened, the gasket can squeeze out (or in, which is harder to see) causing a leak. I had this happen with a Gary Rockwell pan that I never could get to seal right. When I traded it in to Jim K for a Ragussa pan, he sent me a FelPro gasket that had the perfect size holes in it, and sealed really well.

I recently did this job again, and used the gasket that came in the filter kit (also from Jim K. and it sealed perfectly as well. I prefer to not use any type of gasket sealer if I can get away with it, due to the clean-up issues the next time. I did follow the manual torque spec of 12 foot pounds and it is nie and tight with no leaks.
