car leaking oil (slowly)
I changed oil a couple weeks ago and every other day I see like 1ml of oil on the floor, its coming from the drain plug, it is fully tighten, but the problem is it didn't have a gasket on it (losted), is that why its leaking? can I seal the plug till the next oil change without taking the plug out? or is my plug damaged?

if it's that little of oil just try some high temp sealant that comes off easily. or if you don't have mobil1 just change you oil and get a new plug. filter is ok.

Good news, Costco, http://www.courtesyparts.com/A32_maint.html has your drain plug for $1.99 and those copper crush rings for $0.79 each.
I'm screwed
OH MAN I'm the biggest idiot on earth some a$$hole stole my oil dip stick when changing car's oil then I decided to change my own oil this summer so I drained the oil, put 4 liters of oil in and then I CHECKED THE TRANMISSION OIL DIP STICK when I think was the engien dip stick, it looked alright so I packed everything up. Then after like a month I started seeing oil spots everywhere int eh garage, checked it out today and the oil filter was lose, then I tighten it back and checked oil (which really is tranmission) and it was the same so I looked @ the manual and realized that someone STOLE MY ENGINE DIP STICK and the reading is incorrect, worst part is I drove to detroit for a trip last week (1000km) with the leaking that I just found out.
