Default oil drain hole

So i was changing the oil the other and the thread on the oil pan has been damaged a little. There is a certain point where the bolt just spins.... It is currently dripping a little oil from there.

How can i fix this problem?

You need to get the oil drain hole on the oil pain re-threaded - sounds like you stripped it. Other option is to get a new oil pan.

This or if he's cheap run a slightly larger bolt and let it 're-thread' the pan itself. Not ideal but quick and easy.

I would just rethread it. Take your drain bolt to autozone, oreilly or napa and have them give you the right tap.
