Well at 99,000 miles I am now on my 3rd oil pan gasket.

The factory one was replaced at 70,000 miles and now the replacement one has been replaced with 99,000 on the clock.

My dad's truck is leaking too.

If it goes out, after the warrenty runs out, I will JB Weld the seam shut.

Are you using the proper RTV sealant on the gaskets?

Make sure also you use the proper torque on them and work from the middle and work your way to the rear and front.
