Andy,

Can only suggest that you remove sump, and thoroughly clean its mating surface and that at bottom of engine.

Then check sump mating surface for flatness using a few sheets of 800 grit paper glued to mdf and lightly rub sump on it looking for telltale scratch marks.

Also check crankshaft oil seals, and try again.

Good luck
