no check the plate again and make sure the area around the holes is flat
go to super cheap and get a tube of sticoflex great for all oil leaks but clean and pre sol surfaces before applying
are you using the copper washer and acorn nuts

You can get a very high quality Billet aluminium plate and continue to use the paper gaskets with no adhesive. works for me. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SCAT-BILLET-OIL-SUMP-PLATE-KIT-VW-BUGGY-OFFROAD-BU...
Just remember the correct torque for the 6mm studs at 7NM
