Oil pan leaking

Hello all.
My question today is,
There is a rather large nut in the side of the oil pan where the dip stick enters. And mine is leaking a small amout of oil. Is there a gasket or O-ring that can be replaced or maybe some RTV gasket stuff fix this problem?
Its a 97 F250 HD
Thakx for any replies.

I would try cleaning with brake cleaner and apply some RTV to it. If it's that small of a leak, it should do the trick.
