The sump pans on the 5HPs are incredibly delicate. Just look at wrong of the bolts wrong and the flange will bend, squish the gasket, and eventually leak. I spent two days carefully hammering mine back in to shape and did all the bolts up with a torque wrench in the proper diagonal pattern and 10K later its damp again.
