man i just changed my oil like usualy, but i never changed the washer b4. well now i got a small leak, well its big to me cuz in a few hours all oil was gone. i have narrowed it down to where the bolt is...i went to discount auto and got a bolt washer replacement but same thing. do u think if i go get a honda part it will make a difference? or could it be somethin else..there are no cracks in the pan and i had no leaks b4 this change...

uh, yeah, that's a BIG leak. where is it leaking from? having a used washer on there will not cause all the oil to drain out.

 

Take a look a the drain bolt, are all the threads okay? What about the threads in the oil pan?

See if a new drain plug bolt will stop the leak, it may have better threads on the new bolt.

 

Generally a drain plug washer will not cause ALL of the oil to leak out, and certainly not in a short amount of time. I suspect that like tech8 said, the oil pan may be stripped out, preventing you from tightening the plug enough to get the washer to seal.

 

Doubt a washer could do that. But a washer should be used everytime you change the filter

 

May be a hairline crack where the plug is

 

most likely the threads on the pan are stripped ,, remove the plug and look at the threads

exactly that got to look at it in the hot *** miami sun today and thats what i saw...this sucks...any1 got an oil pan?

 

u dont need to replace the pan,, se if a shop down there has an oil oan olug kit,, it comes with an insert. they drill the pan to a bigger size hole, install the insert and a new plug we do a **** load in my shop it works very very good ..save money on a pan, pan gasket , and a lot of more work ..,,if u do job urself,,Matco tools sells the kit ...
