You might have tightened the bolts to the oilpan too tight, breaking the gasket by squeezing it apart... the correct way to do this is to tighten the bolts only untill you can see the gasket squish out a little... as soon as it squishes out----stop.. that would be tight enough... anything beyond this would be overtightening... the bolts do not go in so tight that they quit turning...snug is the best way...hope this helps...

  5. Remove oil pan screws and remove oil pan.
INSTALLATION
  1. Clean surfaces and apply a 1/8 inch bead of Mopar(R) Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant or equivalent, at the parting line of the chain case cover and the rear seal retainer.
    1. Use a new pan gasket.
    2. Install pan and tighten screws to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.).
    3. Install dust shield and bending brace to transaxle housing.
    4. Lower vehicle and install oil dipstick.

SOURCE: OIL PAN GASKET LEAK

The engine has to be supported and the cradle under the engine has to be removed. After everything is reinstalled the front end has to be realigned.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your help, but i think i need a little more info. before tring this."

I changed trans pan gasket and it leaking between the trans and 4x4 crank case or the oil pan
if you changed the trans oil pan and used a gasket it probably will leak ,most dodges use mopar atf-rtv sealer available at the dealer for the trans pan,,if it is leaking between the trans and tcase you will have to determine which unit is leaking fluid and replace the seal and gasket between them you can put oil dye in the tcase fluid and run it and use a dye light to see if the fluid leaking has dye in it and if not then it is the trans

I changed the oil sensor on my 1997 mercury villager van, and it is still leaking oil. The oil lite never has come on and I checked oil last night and it was one quart low. Could the gasket on the oil...
The oil is leaking from wherever you see oil on the engine. Sometimes there can be to much oil covering the engine and it needs to be degreased. A dye can also be added to the oil that will illuminate when a dye light is used to help track down a leak. If the oil pressure switch you removed wasn't wet with oil or leaking than it wasn't bad.

It could be anything from the valve cover gaskets, cam seals, front crank seal, oil pan gasket, rear main seal or head gaskets.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Leaking fluid
Only so many places these trans 41 TE can leak on the vans. Lines on top, speed sensors(input, output)one is below the lines the other is to right of the lines. Dipstick tube, trans solenoid gasket, Oil pan & extension gasket. Wipe off & clean area very well. Lines leaking, check clamps first before replacing. Speed sensor leaking replace o ring, Dipstick tube replace o ring, Trans solenoid replace gasket, Extension plate replace gasket If the pan is leaking you change the trans filter & put a gasket on the pan. The book says RTV on the pan, but FelPro make a gasket for the pan $6.99. Use a Chrysler trans filter!!!! O rings for sensors, tube around $3 each, trans solenoid gasket $3, extension gasket $10, Filter $11 + gasket $7 & 4qts trans fluid if doing the filter or extension gasket.

Think I need oil pan gasket
It's probably the front crank seal or the cam seal. Kinda big job for a novice. The car only has one oil pan. The back one she refered to is for the transmission,if it's automatic. Never saw a oil pan gasket leak on a nissan '96 & up.

Oil leaking from the bottom of the engine
Replace oil pan gasket with new and improved gasket from GM. You also can get the higher priced felpro gasket to stop this leak. They have lower priced ones but these may leak. Also check front crank seal.
