HPOP Rear Plug

The oil seems to keep coming when I am trying to clean the threads out. Is there a better way to stop it and/or clean it up.

Maybe this will help. BTW no oil came out when I took the plug out. It just keeps seeping from the inside.

It is too much work for a picture. I jacked the front of the truck up as high as it will go. I almost wonder if I should jack the back SK it will run into the pump.

Well, all it took as tons of time. I jacked up the front and left it sit overnight and it was dry this morning.

I forgot to say that I took the plug out yesterday afternoon and stuck a blue rag in there and used it like a wick to draw the oil out. The rag as soaked after about 4 hours, but you still couldn't get the hole clean.

I would hate to be the mechanic getting paid by the job waiting for that oil to finally stop leaking!
