Oil pan gasket blow-out

This is the second one the 350 has ate. Oil kinda pours out when the car is on an incline. the first went on the sides of the block next to #7 and #8.

Is this just my bad luck or is something hosed?
PCV system - open ports on the rocker covers. I had a valve on one side, not hooked to vacuum, but the other side had a 5/8 hole where you push one into the grommet.
Gasket was put on roughly 6 weeks ago, Rol brand, car has maybe 5 miles since it was replaced.
I was having a problem with my Holley carb dumping fuel down the throat... Two oil changes and a carb change, no more gas problems. There had been a significant amount of gas sitting in the oil pan.

Any ideas aside from yanking the motor to replace it? I have about 1" clearance between the pan and K-member, think I could snake a new one around it? Drop the pan, clean it up, RTV it?

The front seal is also leaking, but doesn't look damaged.

Thanks in advance....
