help stop this DAMN drain plug from leaking
can't figure out how to stop my drain plug from leaking. it's a klems cut down pan, but it has the original plug and washer. i've tried
pipe tape- didn't work
rtv- didn't work
going to the part store to see what I can find, any suggestions?

If the surfaces are clean, the bolt undamaged and the washer new...it definitely shouldn't leak!

my clems pan has a pipe coupling with a allen head type of set screw, no head on bolt. Haven't had any leaks. Do you have a crush washer behind it.

this is one of their older pans before they started putting the allen head bolt in. does anyone know where I can find a bolt like that?

It still has a clean, flat surface for the gasket to mate to...right?
I haven't seen the setup on the clem's, but you need that flat surface to run an oem style plug/washer.

Should replace the OEM washer after every oil change.
