So I just decided to change my oil since I put 1,000 more miles on the car since the last (first) oil change at 500 miles. I'm glad I did.

I pull the belly pans off and see there a lot of drippage under the oil cooler drainplug. And I go to check the drain plug and it it finger tight. YEaH! and that is after I did the oil drain and change last time and made sure I torqued the factory drainplug to spec. That OEM drainplug is going into the "archive box" and I am swapping it with a real magnetic one that has a real one-time-use, gasket and not the molded rubber pseudo-gasket on the factory piece. It's M12x1.75 in case you're wondering. Ugh!
