-place the pan onto the block and I put one bolt in each corner just enough to hold the pan
- I then go through and put each bolt in finger tight (not really in a patern but not one right after the other either.... just kinda switch sides each time)

That is why you are getting a leak. There is supposed to be a solid gasket in there. The price is $8.99.
