Oil drain seepage

Anybody else get seepage from their oil drain plug when it is torqued properly? After I changed the oil in my old engine, I noticed that the oil pan always had an oil stain on it centered around the plug. In getting the replacement engine ready, I put the magnetic plug in the engine with the new "crush ring". Two days ago I was under the car and there was a little bit of oil all around the plug. Looking at the "crush ring", it doesn't look crushed at all to me.

So have you guys seen the same thing? If so, what did you do about it.

BTW, both situations are with the LNE magnetic drain plug. I don't think that's the problem, but IDK for sure.
