Leaking Oil

I’ve got a 2017 with the 2.7 litre. 120,000 km. It was into the dealer while under warranty for a leaking base pan twice and the pan was replaced. It’s now leaking again, and it’s not a little leak. The plug has the drip coming off of it. Would it be as easy as just having to buy a new oil plug? Does the o ring have to be replaced ion them when the oil is changed? Or am I in for an expensive repair?

Did you replace the oil pan drain plug when you changed the oil? It's my understanding that it needs a new plug with every oil change (or at least a new o-ring).

No I did not. I don’t know that that had to be done.

Make sure you replace the oil drain plug, or at least the o-ring. The filter comes with a new o-ring for the housing as well.

I've considered getting one of these valves.
