First oil change on the 70 series.

Had a bit of a rough go. Got it all back together and realized that the plug was leaking. Added a rubberized washer and managed to minimize oil loss in the process even though my hands kinda paid the price with hot oil.

Still leaking a bit though. Seems that the previous owner added some kind of plumbers tape to the threads of the plug, so clearly an existing issue.

Any recs on a PN for the plug? Its somewhere between a 12mm and a 20mm, which were what Oreilly's had available locally. Possible that the issue might be in the threads of the oil pan itself, which would suck. Thoughts?

Cheers,
Austin

Thanks, I've got it sealed for now with some extra torque. Will be replacing the plug and using a proper crush washer come next oil change.
