I cannot get my new fuel pump to seal to the block. I use da gasket with Rtv no luck, I used a gasket with permatex gasket sealant no luck. It has a very slight ooze of oil when the engine gets warm. The old pump didn't leak, but for some reason I cannot get this new one to seal! what's everyone using?
 
Put a straight edge on the seal section of the pump and see how flat it is.
I had one that did the same as yours is, and it was anything BUT flat. :rolleyes:

Along with what Lumpy stated, make sure the contact surfaces are clean as rtv does not seal well with oil on them.
