you prolly need a new seal washer on yer plug

you can hook up a vacuum on yer fill hole and pull the plug without loosing a drop ........................or you can just change the gasket next oil change

since theres a drain hole and oxygen can come in it goes through the oil and into the vac so the oil doesnt go in the vac right?

the oil will be down in the pan and the vac wont be able to suck it up from that far
