steel oil pan drain plug leakeage

Hello everybody,
i noticed awhile ago i had an oil leak under the max. I saw where it was leaking from but i didnt no what it was so i looked at the FSM and it is the oil pan drain plud that is leaking i think. Has anybody else had this problem and how hard is it to fix?

Time for a new copper washer. If it isnt there it should be and likely fell off the plug during an oil change.

and stock up on tune-up parts while yer at it!

Yep... bought half a dozen and change it out every 4th oil change. FSM would say every change I bet..though thats usually not nessessary.

ease it off with a lil screwdriver, knife blade, etc...cutting torches if you need the practice!
