Some tit has threaded the oil drain plug on the metro which it turns out is the cause of the oil leak.

It can be done up only slightly tight before it begins to spin while getting no tighter. Does any company offer oversize drain plugs or how do I solve this problem?

Failing that what can I use to seal the gap. Instant gasget doesn't work.

Thanks

Minispares do an oversize taper plug that will screw in and form its own thread.
