To check the gasket for splitting like I described you don't have to take the pan off. Just get the car high enough safely that you can get under it entirely, and inspect with a light around the outside. If you see the gasket bulged out and with a crack in it near the source of the leak, you've found your problem.
The cork/rubber mix gaskets are probably best for this application. They suck for some things (valve covers...) but they seem to do fine for this, plus they're a little more flexible I think.
