I've had pretty good luck with Permatex High Temp Red RTV Gasket Maker 26B. This includes externally applied "dams" to significantly slow oil leakage at the pan gasket areas (without removal).

Permatex also has a newer product that may be better for this purpose, but I haven't tried it. It's called Ultra Black RTV Gasket Maker, supposed to be more resistant to oil.

Regardless of what product you use, try to clean the area as well as possible before application using a good degreaser and water, thoroughly dried. And give the stuff a chance to set up properly before starting the engine... like overnight, if possible.
