Welp, you sure can't see much from underneath with the pan flange being so wide, but the one area I could feel seemed to have more squeeze out than I'm used to seeing in my line of work (which is quite different to automotive, so my opinion probably doesn't mean much on that). I do think that this is one of those times Id rather the sealant was weighted towards the outside than the inside. At least then the worst thing would be an oil leak, which I could catch...

I thought about bringing this up with my dealer to see if they want to take a preventative look at it. However, since my car is exclusively road driven (and not very aggressively), I think I'd be at a very low risk of failure, and I'm not sure what I'd hope to accomplish...

I think @Petah78 makes a very good point. There isn't really a way to head this off. Just have to drive it, and let the chips fall where they may. And if my car is fairly gently driven, and I get a failure outside of warranty, and iot isn't covered by a TSB, that just means an excuse for the wife and I to EJ or LS swap it (not serious, but also very serious!)
