    Ok so i have a small leak coming from my drain plug. Does anyone know how to tell the size of the drain plug without taking it out and bringing it into autozone. also are u suppose to put a washer inbetween the drain plug i cant remember.

    there should be a copper washer on the plug. that could be all you need to stop the leak...

    Yeah there has to be a crushable gasket on this. You're supposed to replace it every oil change with a Honda.

    In front of you
    some of my best parts cars have automatic chassis oilers under them :)

    some of the most solid, rust free floor pans you'll ever find :)
