Oil drain plug leak
I own a 2000 Ford Excursion with the diesel engine. The oil drain plug has an annoying slow leak/drip. I have tried a new drain plug with no luck. The dealer says that the drain plug does not have a washer that goes with it. Anyone have any simple safe fixes. Thanks... So far I have changed out all the door actuators, front springs, shocks, calipers, brake rotors and the water pump. Just can't fix this leak !!

Get and install a Fumoto valve....

Once installed, you'll never have to worry about stripped threads, crush washers, etc, ever again.
