Default oil pan problem

I changed my oil pan gasket a few months ago, tried to use a torque wrench to torque 8.7lbs (keep in mind i used 2 different torque wrenches), but the bolt kept turning and i opted to hand tighten everything in the corect bolting pattern. Found out that i was leaking through most of the bolts, took it off 2 months ago, and put some ultra black sealant and redid the oil pan. hand tight once again. Im still leaking oil through the pan gasket. Its not much of a leak but you can see the oil residue comming off the side.


I have a new gasket, planning to use the ultra black sealant, and cleaning off the surfaces that meet with some type of degreaser. Any suggestions for bolting the sucker back on?
