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?
