It has a 1 piece rear main seal in it. To replace it you must pull the engine are transmission witch ever you think would be the most simple to do.
The seal slides over the back of the crankshaft. Pop it out and drive new one in.
Need to check the back of the intake manifold were it seals against the block and make sure that seal is not leaking.
Are you sure that you installed the oil pan gasket correctly ? If you used sealacone on the rubber pan gasket that can also make it leak even with it being new.
GOOD LUCK I hope I helped you. NEUTZ.
