The final oil leak?
My SVX has been leaking oil ever since I got it. The engine reseal fixed some of the leaks, but it's continued to drip since then. I finally got off my lazy butt and looked under there and I'm pretty sure that it's coming from the oil pan drain plug. I've got the crush washer in there but oil seeps through around it. Some paper towel and a few minutes under the car confirmed that since I could see the oil start to build up again.
I'd rather not replace the oil pan over this since I really don't have the $$ right now. My thought was to put some Teflon tape around the threads on the plug. Does anyone have thoughts on this?
