Aside from the eminently expert advice Mr. Merlin gives, I would also counter with this:
Take the oil pan off
Clean both mating surfaces fully (razor blade perpendicular to the surface works very well and won't gouge aluminum surface). You could also dry ice blast the surfaces once you have the pan off (see my video on youtube about that
Put on DRY either a cork gasket or a Greg Brown or 928srus oil pan gasket
Torque the Greg or Roger gasket to 65 in/lbs or Torque the cork gasket to 53 to 61 in/lbs
You can use blue loctite on the bolts to keep them from backing out (they will if you don't) or you can put a stud kit in with nyloc nuts.
Search for oil pan removal and replacement on rennlist or use goolge and start your search with rennlist: oil pan replacement in google. This will have goolge search rennlist itself
