Not sure why the gasket would "squeeze out" any more than
on any other vehicle. Fel-Pro makes rubber oil pan gaskets
and I've written to them because they have all sorts of
makes and models (even some LBC's!) in their drop-down
list but not Triumph!

See https://www.felpro.com/parts/performance/oil-pan-gaskets.html
