Maybe the pan edge got damaged and is out of true. Find a flat work surface and lightly hammer out any uneveness so that there is minimum gapping between the pan edge and the surface. Make sure the pan edge is really clean (use brake clean) before applying gasket paste. If the pan is nice and flat you will only need a small bead of paste (you do not want to avoid excess sealant breaking off inside the sealed oil pan). Make sure the mating surface of the engine is also clean and free of oil. Do not over tighten the pan bolts, just firm/snug is enough and do them evenly around the pan.

2003 Toy Tacoma transmission pan have a gasket

There is a gasket supplied when you buy the transmission filter for all transmissions that your vehicle would have came with. You don't want to be using that stuff on a transmission pan, as a replacement for a gasket. I would wonder if the filter was changed?
