stripped oil pan issue

[Levi]

I was changing my oil yesterday and found out the hole that the plug goes into is stripped. I think the lube place messed it up last time.

Well now its leaking, i went and bought a longer plug with a gasket/washer and tighten it REALLY good and still leaks.

Is there another way to fix this issue without replacing the pan? (i would of searched but that option doesn't work on my phone)

That shiz really does fix everything huh?

use just a slightly bigger bolt size or like posted earlier, retap/rethread the hole.

You could get the thread hellicoiled, but I would imagine the cheapest option would be to get a slightly larger threaded sump plug and tap the correct sized thread (one that matches your new larger sump plug) into the sump.
