Changed the oil pan gasket.
Used a copper thing I got from Kascar and it dripped. Class III drip. Even torqued up to 25 ft-lbs.
Got one of these:

Had a spare 12.5mm bolt handy, lost an ounce or two of oil (I'd changed it last weekend), cut the copper washer off which looked like it SHOULD have been sealing the joint, threaded this one on and a couple hours later: no oozing.
Funny, it's what was ON there when I got the truck. Now I'll buy a box of 'em from Amazon.com for future use, maybe sell a handful or "pay it forward."
Stay tuned.
Didn't like the tilt of the commander's seat so I did some measuring and moved the seat bolt back. Feels like my Tacoma now. Roomy. I could put on my kevlar and chicken plate and not have my face pressed against the windshield.
And no, it's just barely touching the seat belt reel housing.
