Several things work on the smallblocks

1. Make sure it's not the oil pan gasket. See step 1. See step 1 once again.
2. Buy a good quality rear main seal and pan gasket from Fel-Pro.
3. Rotate the seal @ 30° in the direction of crank rotation before installing the main cap so the gaps don't line up with the cap.
4. Add a thin dab of RTV to all four seal ends before you rotate them in
5. Add a thin dab of gasket sealer to the main cap around the seal
6. Small-blocks have available one-piece pan gaskets getting one for the 194, 215, 230, 250, 292 I6 may not happen.
