are you talking about the drainn plug
or the bolts that hold on the pan?

if you can get under it just tighten the nuts holding the oil pan, be careful not to tightin it too much though because it will snap off, as i did this today

 

clean it off and if it comes back then replace the oil pan gasket

 

shat my bad my bad... the drain plug

 

could be the tiny o ring that goes around the drain plug bolt either faulty or not there in some cases. Check it man but you may have to rechange your oil b/c it's gonna pour out like crazy. Try tightening it first haha GL

 

so time out, there should be a tiny o ring gasket on the plug? there doesnt seem to be anything visible. where do you think i could just a get a new plug n seal? i tried the tightenning... no help

 

get the crush washer from Honda Parts.... $00.25
tell them its for the oil drain bolt, they know, they know...

 

thanks man. hopefully slowmotion in columbus has it. i cant wait to much longer tired of adding oil lol
