The pan gasket is a cheap silicone replacement with undersized grommets that allowed the pan to pinch through in several places. And it must have been installed with the engine in-chassis because one of the grommets was in the pan. Also, the lower half of the bellhousing shim plate's foam ring was gone, indicating someone "cleaned" it off. I like to use Copper Coat as a gasket adhesive, and I always change the drain plug to a brass valve ( Fumoto F106 for '92-up 5.0L & 5.8L). IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.
