toyota does not use a gasket for the oil pan. they use OE silicone called FIPG. if you used one, thats where the leak is.

Its possible the end of the head gasket was tater'd when installing the cover. that can cause a leak.
for that job, you dont have to pull the cover

what do I have to take off the get it resealed? how come the hanes manual tells you to take off the head and oil pan..
