About two months ago, I change my RMS and posted about it here:

Well, there is good news and bad. I believe (but could be wrong) that the RMS is not leaking. However, I don't think I did a good job on the oil pan gasket. It It is leaking pretty bad and I used the expensive blue gasket. It seems to be leaking from the front of the vehicle.
I am not sure what I did wrong, but the flu hit me the day I put it back on and, while I am usually very careful, I probably was not as careful as I should have been on that day.
In any case, I plan to drain all the royal purple out of it next weekend, drop the pan, and try to fix what I did wrong. Instead of testing it with more royal purple, I am going to refill it with pennzoil until I know the leak is fixed.
My question is this: I have put about 1000 miles on it with the blue gasket. If I drop the oil pan, can I reuse it? I know that I will have to visually inspect it first, but, assuming that I find no defects, do you think I can reuse it?
