Sounds like that might be the problem. Now that I think about it, since I got the car, there has been a slight weep at the drain plug. But I have inspected the drain hole closely, thinking it was a stuck crush washer or an imperfection and I couldn't see anything.

I guess I'll get a new sump plate and see what happens.
