Is the threads cross threaded in the the drain plug? Happens when rookies working on it. If so just get the threads re tapped. Just a suggestion

It wasn't leaking (at least that I noticed) until just before christmas, and it had been several months since I did my last oil change. I think what probably happened was I was driving when we had a bunch of snow and I remember one time getting a block of ice I think it hit near the plug enough to fuck something up. I don't know for sure how it happened but thats my best guess. |

A little silicone around the bolt might help

well i ended up taking it in, turns out that i did crack the oil pan (where i couldn't tell you). I took it in cause it was leaking more and more and I did not have the time to get to it now and I didn't wanna keep feeding it oil every other day. |
