Which end of the sump?

Be careful with silicone comound on sump gaskets because it can fook your engine if any clogs up the pickup filter

Can still be the crank seal if it got a slight nick in it when fitting over the crank end.

Are oil pump gaskets common to breaking then?
Mine pisses oil out of somewhere around the bottom pully area of my engine
