I used a glove and put it over the oil fill and it sucked in and I don't have white smoke coming from the dip stick. The PCV system has never been changed though and there is 182,...

The leak hasn't been real big, but pretty sure this time the leak is from the pan since it seems to have blown some of the sealant out of the joint. Going to try again in a couple of days and will make sure there is no residue on the surfaces and see what happens. thanks for your quick reply.
