Default Oil pan gasket

I replaced the oil pan gasket last year and it still leaks just as bad as it did before. Is there a trick to installing this that I may have missed, or is it just a bad part

maybe it's not the oil pan. Is the oil coming from the belt end or the transmission end.

It's leaking along the length of the oil pan

Make sure it's not the front crank seal or the front cover gasket. Depending on the year, I have also seen the oil filter addapter leak and look like an oil pan gasket.
