Default Oil pan bolt, leaking.

Ok, this is starting to **** me off.
Every other time i change my oil my pan plug just leaks. like 1-2 drops per hour. what can i do to stop it from leaking short of buying a new washer every time i change my oil? would it be ok to use some liquid gasket around the washer?

Just buy a heap of washers and change it each time. Doesn't cost much.

Yeah that's what I did. You're supposed to replace it every time, or every other time.

anyway i used some liquid gasket i had (from oilpan) lying around. it said it was ok to use on threads so i tried it. so far so good. i just beat the crap out of the motor and its looking fine. well see in the morning

Yo, that's the purpose of a "crush" washer. It "crushes" to seal any uneaven surfaces between the bolt and the oil pan. Just go to honda and buy a bunch... you cant afford 0.10 a piece?

.10 each for the crush washers? Damn. My honda dealer charges .35 cents.

I also use orange silicon sealant along with a new crush washer. It works great.
