hmm...y dont u just buy a new drain plug and a washer(the washer is aluminium). they should only cost about...5 bucks total from honda or acura. and if ur fast enough u should b able to change it and not loose too much oil, then just add the amount u lost.

Just drain the oil again and reuse it again.

Go get a crush washer and put it on there.

make sure you've cleaned up the area around the drain hole as well as the bolt if you've gotten it dirty after removal.
