Default Engine oil pan gasket

Just had my engine oil pan re sealed due to a leak, but got it after the shop and its leaking just a bit, few drops maybe, I decided to go to a Lexus dealer to order a gasket but they said they dont carry and you cannot buy it because it's not in the system for parts, the parts guy showed me the computer and it showed silicone and the pan only. So is there a gasket for the engine oil pan or do I just tell them to do a better job at resealing?

They are correct it uses form in place gasket (RTV/sealant). You need to make sure both surface are clean and dry before applying. Also let in cure 1 day or at least overnight before filling back up with oil. Also make sure they didn't bend the lip trying to pry off the lower oil pan.

That's wack man. It should've been a nice thick rubber gasket. Cleaning off that gunk from the last sealant is a nightmare bro. Sheesh. But with patience it'll get done right and correct. This is good info to know for myself fit future reference. THANKS ALLOT BROS GodBless
