From around the pan? How bad? Check the bolt torque again. May have to do the drill again to verify the gasket surface is allowing it to seat properly and or the pan is not damaged at those mating surfaces.

The lower pan hardly ever leaks unless it's been messed with. More than likely it's the front crank seal. It's really hard to provide any answer to such a vague poorly thought out post however.

With the OP's vague-ness, who knows what year he has. But I've never seen a pan gasket on an LS400 from the factory. Just FIPG.

There wasn't a gasket before so I just assumed and installed one. Also, my LS is a '97.
