Timing cover to oil pan seal

How do you guys seal this area on your engines ? On my new engine, I have a lot oil seeping from the bottom of the cover where it meets the oil pan. I used the one piece dry Fel Pro gasket but it looks like it's not good enuff. Is it possible to redo the seal with the engine still in the car ? I'd imagine it would be a pita and the engine would have to be lifted a few inches huh.

I used blue RTV on that spot in my car... waited for it to cure, and never had a problem..
