I've had two unfortunately, the first was grenaded by a large rock in the road recently (pics are in the Rotary Performance section, CLR Motorsports engine thread. Something to think about but I did elect to use the part again. In all fairness, even a welded steel plate oil pan would have been destroyed. It does sit below the subframe so care needs to be taken.

I had one put on my FD and it leaks. I even had them (Mariah Motorsports) put sealer on
also. The O ring looked small for the grove but I thought Pinneaple knew what they were
doing, so now it has to come off so we can see what the problem is. Has anyone else had
a leaking problem with their pineapple oil pan? Thank you.

If your motor isn't 100% flat on the bottom, you'll need to use sealer in addition to the o-ring. Make sure the o-ring didn't come out of the groove during installation and all the bolts are torqued to the same spec. My motor isn't perfectly flat on the bottom (gaps where hosings meet plates) and I have no oil leaks.
