83 FJ40, Oil Pan plug leaks

[rex in bama]

Took another look and it's seeping from under the skid plate. New oil pan and gasket on the way. I'm feeling my age doing this concrete yoga. Thanks fellas for the input, I wasn't thinking of faulty spot welds. I don't think it's cracked as I refurbished the pan before installing it. I'll know for sure when I remove it.

I’m borrowing that concrete yoga phrase. Sheesh, also reaching that age where the body revolts at what used to be simple tasks on the truck. Just laying down on the creeper seems like a task

It is definitely weird the first time. Why is the plug leaking?

I put a new Toyota OEM 25MM x 1.50 drain plug in and it leaks. Inspecting the threads, they look ok but this pan requires thread sealer and PTFE tape. I also had to use the original drain plug as the new one would not seal up.
