2016 Silverado lower oil pan leak

[Rickyace09]

My 2016 Silverado has a very small leak near where the lower oil pan meets I guess the block. I have been tightening the bolts for two months now but decided to drop the pan and service the leak. My question is can the pan be reused or best to replace? And I believe mine has the rtv which looks like crap from the dealer smh. Is there a process and tight pattern to the rtv? Also should I wait to torque down?

The pan is one time use.  Replace it.
