Sounds like you have the wrong pan gasket. One thing about cork gaskets that should be discussed is that the engine oil is an intricate part of their sealing ability. A bone dry cork gasket won't seal very well. Oil soaks into the cork, causing it to swell and providing a good seal. That is why you don't want to put sealant on both sides of the cork, as this will prevent the oil from moving into the cork.
