Oil Drain Leak
Happy New Year Guys,
I dipstick broke and I had a little oil leak on my engine so I decided to wash and shine it. I though that while I was washing the engine i should just do a complete job so I did an under wash. After that I realize that I was leaking oil in the oil drain(oil light came on and I traced it to there). My question is there an o-ring for the oil drain or is it something more. leak is a little heavy an need some attention.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I have seen in the past is either it is not tight enough. Or it has been over tightened to many times and the washer that is part of the drain plug breaks loose. Then it will leak from the drain plug.
