Thanks for the help guys. When i rebuilded my Y i ordered the gasket sett from fel pro. This is the gasket that was following the kit and noe is mounted on the bottom part off the engine.
-Seal on the drain plug, this one was in cobber from what i remember, and it was the same shape like the old one. (I also think it follow a plastic seal like mentioned here) But the cobber seal that was in the gasket sett is mounted. Am not shure, bit i think it begin to leak not before several months after i staret the engine.
-Cobber seal on the oil tube(Innside the oil pan), No seal on the nut outside the pan. The one on the innside was a flat cobber seal.
-Seal on the innlet tube (Tube to oil pump) This one was a bigger one, and also have the same shape as the old one.
It looks to me that the gasket between the pump and the engine is leaking. It looks a little thin, maybe a ticker one would be better ?
Best regards
Robin NorwayI have noticed the oil pump base gasket can be put on 2 ways and maybe could leak, take notice when removing pump.

I always coat my gaskets with like STP, Motor Honey or some of that thick goo and have never had problems with leaks, you can also remove the parts several times and the gaskets are reusable. Wipe any residue before trying to paint any parts though, that is one thing paint will not stick to.
