Hey I have a Ford f150 with oil Problem?

Its a 95 ford f150 and the problem is it's leaking oil around the drain plug.I believe its caused just because its sat for a while.Anything i can do cheap to fix it without drilling it to a bigger size?Also can any oil change shp deal with this?Hey I have a Ford f150 with oil Problem?
Try putting a sweet speaker system. i heard that really helps with gas mileageHey I have a Ford f150 with oil Problem?
Just go to autozone and buy a new drain plug. Here is the BIGGER problem............any oil leak on the engine will work it's way down and drip from the drain plug (it's the lowest point on the engine) Find out for sure where the oil is leaking at (just because you see it on the drain plug does NOT mean that this is where the leak is) Ford truck oil pans are notorious for rusting through ( i replaced 2 last week)


If it does turn out to be the plug,.......just go buy a new one.It's no big deal. The pan has a small steel plate stamped into it,....this is what the plug bolt threads into. The steel plate is harded steel than the bolt, so that if there is a proble,........it will chew up the threads on the bolt rather than the threads on the plate. GOOD LUCK! Rob in PA.
get a new gasket or find on that will fit over the bolt and if that doesn't work put some thread tape on the threads.
