I'm unaware of problems you are experiencing.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Harry John Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 This may have simply happened due to the age of the vehicle. Don't continue to over torque the drain plug or YOU will be the person doing damage to your vehicle.
