I am having the same problem. I had a small oil leak with a LN engineering magnetic drain plug. I thought I may have over tightened it and cracked it. So I ordered a new one. Tightened to 19 FT LBS and this one leaks as well. I used a new aluminum crush ring. Maybe I should try a copper crush ring next time?

My indie does not recommend this product based on their experience with leaks.

I also had the problem with the LN magnetic plug but tightening that just a little more seems to make it stop. I wonder if a rubber washer similar to a garden hose would make more sense since the torque is so light?
