my experience trying to stop the clean out cover from leaking led to worse leaks! I always had a little drip out of the cover and bolts so when I rebuilt my motor last year I tried to clean up the pan, flatten it out and make it "right" new gasket and a little bit of silicone on both sides then snugged it down enough so I didn't warp the unit again. as soon as I put oil in it I had a puddle on the floor! got under there and cranked those bolts tight again! still dripped a bit but good enough I could break the motor in and fix it when I changed the break in oil. finally changed the oil a couple weeks ago and pulled the cover. cleaned it again, another new gasket and another thicker layer of silicone with more around the bolts. this time I tightened it right up and it's been dry as a bone!
