2017 F-150 King Ranch 3.5T, 10 spd auto has developed a leak between the metal oil pan drain hole and the plastic drain plug. I've replaced the drain plug with OEM and aftermarket plugs without success. I have dressed the plugs' neoprene gasket with red Permatex to no avail. The truck is seldom driven with only 16K miles and no codes. My driveway looks like crap. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ed

You could try a little Permatex #2 non-hardening sealant on the threads near the bolt head.

I would be cautious that its really the drain plug, its a low point so it seems to come from there.

Yeah, is it really the drain plug?
Test out your hunch with some UV leak dye.
