My Canton, and everyone I've installed leaks. (and its not because I dont know what I'm doing) The Canton with the kickout is one of the best pans available for drag racing. Its worth some power so I put up with the leaks.

The best thing I've found for them is to use the Fel-Pro one piece gasket, dab some silicon in the corners, then after its installed, run a bead on the front and back on the humps.

If you've got one that leaks from the welds, you need a new pan.
