Try one stud on each side, not at the back corner but one up from that towards the front of the car. Clean your pan and block where they touch with brake cleaner so it is clean as possible. Some people will tell you to use black RTV sparingly; I have a bead the entire way around on both the pan and windage tray. Torque the bolts in small increments going around so that it's even. Torque it to 10lbs; you can use a little LocTite blue, or glob a little RTV on the bolts if you'd like. The pan really needs to be clean and straight. I can't over-emphasize that.
