oil change issue

[ducky1402]

ok so I am very mechanically inclined so this one is baffeling me..... Changed oil in the truck couple weeks back. Now truck dripping from the oil plug now before you get the urge to say the plug isn't tight I will let you know I tightened to the point where I was nervous about stripping it out once
I seen the drips on the garage floor... Could something maybe be in the threads..... ohhh what to do

Not this last time but the time before I had my oil changed my truck 'leaked' oil. Only very little drops that would stop after sitting for a min.... then I had my oil changed again and it stopped. I checked my oil very often worrying that the stealership may have messed up on something... but my oil was always full. Mine looked as tho it was coming from the filter. I checked it and it was nice and tight lol

Maybe its just her marking her territory from all the other PSD's

Is the oil directly under the drain plug? If not, you have a leak somewhere else, like a intercooler tube.

Unless you want to catch the oil and put it back in your truck, just get a new oil plug
for the next oil change. I hate oil leaks.

Theres a little brass ring on the oil plug look and see if it there. If not theres your problem and you'll need to get a new one.
