are you talking about the factory pedestal, or an aftermarket plate that sits on top of the stock pedestal? if its the aftermarket plate there is supposed to be a gasket/oring under it.

Get rid of the aftermarket plate - it's most likely just going to continue to give you trouble.
If you have a sensor in there for an oil pressure or temp gauge, find a new home for it. One trick is to drill/tap a 1/8" NPT hole on top of the banjo bolt for the oil cooler line right there. Real slick installation.
