they don't use gaskets on oil sumps its sealant glue and yes u will have to reapply it when you put the sump back on, and what do u mean by main seal? do you mean the head gasket?

There is supposed to be a washer on the drain plug. It's either plastic or copper. It's either missing or more likely embedded with dirt or grit and won't seal properly. Simply pick up a new one when you do your next oil change and replace it then. Always wipe the oilpan off around the drain and clean the drain plug and washer before you re-install them. Hope this helps.

Bad oil filter gasket or loose? Maybe you bumped the oil plug? You should be able to tell where it comes from with that bad of a leak. don-ohio
That is a good answer Don, and it should be in the main answer box. This one is for requesting further information, like when posters write 'how do I stop it leaking'.
