I have been trying to stop my sump plug from leaking oil since I changed it, I have used a new round profile copper crush washer and origenly torqued the plug to 20 N/mm2, I cleaned the sump and left it a few days. I came back a few days later and there was oil on the sump plug and visable oil drips on the floor, so I torqued it to 22 N/mm2 and left it a few days. I just checked it again and still there is oil residue on the plug so I have just tightened it up to 25N/mm2 and hopefully this will sort it.
Can anyone give me any tips on how to resolve the leak? Should I use a different washer such as a flat copper washer or alluminium washer?
Thanks
