oil leaking from drain plug

[DRIFTINGmy85]

Had a small amount of oil coming out from the drain plug.
I bought a drain plug gasket, a brass one, and put it in.
Now the thing leaks like crazy.

I was thinking about getting a new drain plug bolt.
Do you think it's the copper gasket?

What do you think?

Got to the autoparts store and get a new gasket, there's one that's like a paper type material that has worked for me fine

I want that kind but so far no one has it.

Rubber Gasket from Home Depot for Hot water hoses! Just do it!

that's what I tried - red rubber hose gasket worked like a charm

Dang, just went to a parts store and bought a new plug that came with a stupid plastic gasket.
Guess I'm going to Home Depot.

Thanks!

:stupid: I had the same problem...just make sure it's red for HOT water...not green.
