crap I will fix it when I get home i am at work right now the net wont let me go into photobucket

Should work I hope. Well the car was supercharge before when I bought the vehicle. They took out the kit and I guess they tapped the block for a oil return line. I have no idea why they didnt tap the oil pan....-_-. Well its leaking from the bolt so I am wondering what is the best way to seal it and maybe remove it later on when I decide to go turbo or supercharge.

Agreed. Use liquid pipe thread sealer. They tapped the girdle because it's higher up out of the oil.

Permatex Ultra-grey RTV. Clean the plug and hole with brake cleaner before.

If I want to remove the plug later on maybe for a superchager, will it be easy to remove? Or I will need to tap the oil pan instead. Really don't want to drill any more holes =-X. How much should I put around the bolt? Thanks. -David

The sealer won't make it any more difficult to remove the plug.

I'd use 1/16 bead of sealant around the threads of the plug.

Should I attempt to remove the plug and put the sealant around the thread then try to screw it back in? Or just put the sealant around the edges of the thread where it meets the block? I think the bold is plugged in there pretty tight =/
