Or it looks like I have to once again take the Oil Pan off and just install the Rope Seal. Bugger.

Sorry don't know where but I'm sure someone on here does.
As a side note about the rope seal. My car has well over 100K miles on it with the original rope seal.
At one point it did seep a little oil out of the seal until I installed a PCV system on it. After the installation I noticed that the oil seepage had virtually stopped. I attribute this to the negative crankcase pressure supplied by the PCV system.
