I've got an Oil Pan Drain Plug that is leaking, and was hoping one of you Mopar experts could offer me some suggestions. The car is a 70 Coronet R/T w/ a 440, and this is my first Mopar. The Oil Pan appears to be in great shape, no visible dents or damage. The Drain Plug (PN 2125890) is original, and I put a new orig Washer (PN 2268513) on the Plug. I've tightened the Plug to 25 ft. lbs, didn't want to go any tighter and strip out the Pan threads. My most recent attempt at repairs was to wrap the Plug 3 times (clockwise) around with Teflon plumbers tape. This got the leak down to approx. 1/2 a teaspoon per day, however it is still leaking. A minor issue but it's irritating the heck out of me! I've never had this issue with previous muscle cars that I owned. Any suggestions would be much appreciated? thank you, Richard
