my truck has always leaked a little from the drain plug, it has as far as I know an aftermarket 1/2" magnetic drain plug, and plastic gasket. recently the leak has gotten worse, and I was wondering if someone could point me to a part number or link to get the correct plug and gasket to stop the leak. I've been told its copper, and by some that it was originally a nylon gasket.

Thanks

I use a copper spark plug seal.

 

I'll try some copper crush washers then, I think the aftermarket magnetic plug is too long, and that's part of the reason why its not sealing right, its hitting the oil pump pickup, or whatever the term is for the part right above the drain plug in the pan.

 

I went with a Fumoto drain valve on mine. Saves me the risk of boogering the threads on the pan.

How far below the pan does it protrude?

 

half an inch-ish.

Have a part #, or do I look by truck info?

 

FUMOTO ENGINEERING Link to their site. Looks like a good product.

 

Thanks....
