old mechanics trick is to tie the gasket to the corners of the pan with thread or fishing line before installation so as not to chance getting rtv into the pan. works like a champ every time I use it. as for the leaking after a while I have seen gaskets settle for lack of a better term and need to be tightened another half turn or so after a few hot/cold cycles.
