bob larry:
Mine is dripping too.  Changed the oil and the PO put a chevy bolt in there with silicon.  ouch

I bought the correct bolt so with any luck it will bolt right in a be fine..........changing the oil tn



But I dought life is that easy. 

BDI:
Time-serts are the best form of thread repair I have ever used. They requier a smaller hole then a heli coil. If you use a heli coil first  :| when it fails you will have to use a big-sert to repair the hole do to the fact that the heli coil needs a larger hole. Do the right thing  :wink: use time serts, they are worth the money. http://www.timesert.com/ watch their demo and read what they say, it's all true. I use them all the time to fix peoples screw ups.

HAWK1111:
If all you have is oil seepage coming from the drain plug, wrap the last 3-4 threads of the drain plug w/teflon tape. DO NOT over wrap with the tape, 1 wrap is sufficient.
