Alright I've done plenty of oil changes, but for some reason on my 91 Integra there is always a leak from the bolt. Used to have a severe one, then I redid it with some teflon tape around the bolt and high-temp gasket maker. This time I just replaced the washer with a new one that has a rubber seal but it leaks. Is there any material I can apply every time to insure there will be no leak? Some kind of liquid gasket or something that is just a standard in shops?

Any help is appreciated.

 

permatex it.

 

get a new plug & gasket for the plug n just tighten it but dont go crazy n over do it maybe u have the wrong size plug

 

Have you tried the plastic washers that they sell in the help section, or maybe an oversized replacement drain plug, or even a new oem drain plug? Have you looked at the drain plug area to see why it's not sealing? With the 9 cars i've owned in my life i've never had one leak from the drain plug, usually they leak everywhere else but.

 

Well, just to update this with my status to MAYBE help someone. I took my car to the shop I work at and one of the guys that does oil changes rethreaded the hole and put a bigger bolt in. Works fine now. I suppose after so many oil changes it was about due for some fresh threads.
