Engine front oil seal 13042-42L00 (CA18 all) Engine rear oil seal 12279-18V00 (CA18 all) ------Where are these?

Oil pan seal front 11121-01F10 (CA18 all) Oil pan seal rear 11121-01F15 (CA18 all) ---------Where are these? I thought there's no gasket for oil pan - liquid only?

Please help to clarify this as I still cannot find complete gasket set...

Ok I found in service manual oil pan seals also - they are half moon shape Strange that "Engine front oil seal 13042-42L00 (CA18 all)" corresponds to "camshaft oil seal" at MyNissanParts, and"Engine rear oil seal 12279-18V00 (CA18 all)" corresponds to "crank oil seal"...

The oil pan does have a gasket front and back. The rest is RTV. And don't use a felpro gasket set, at least not the entire thing. If you get a Flepro, they include a cork gasket to use instead of the RTV. The problem that I have is that the cork soaked up the oil and is now leaking it out side of the oilpan. Grrr, shoulda just listened to Nissan and used RTV only...
