i want to be a naturalist, so i want to make stuff with pebbles and stuff other people usually do not useso (without any electric tools involved) what can you make (craft-wise, like jewelry, yarn etc), with stuff you can find anywhere, like rocks, grass, feathers, or treebark, ect.
Once the plug is tight it should be capable of stopping the leakInstead of a metal crush washer you can try a silicone washer for the plugOf course, if you put the plug in without any washer it will leakEDIT - tape will never holdThe oil will invade the adhesive layer and dissolve itOne day would be hopelessly optimisticSame goes for RTV - it will be invaded before it can cureLord knows I've tried both in my time! One thing I have not tried that may work without completely removing the plug is to get an o-ring that is barely bigger than the plug thread, back the plug out a couple of turns, and stretch the o-ring over the head into the gapTighten gently, but enough to prevent the bolt backing outIf it were me I would bite the bullet and remove the plug; it would be vastly simpler and better.
Tape won't really workThere are a few types of putty epoxy type material you could use, but doing so would prevent you from removing the drain plug again with cutting/grinding all of it offThat's about the only thing that would really work without removing the plug.
Tape will never work! Find a good gasket that fits the new over sized plugYou did get an over sized plug and not just a replacement one like the one that was in the oil pan I hope.
