2010 oil leak ...

[Hershey]

yes , always use a washer for the drain plug . There are pics of the leak . It's the plastic head gasket . Not a simple fix , quite a task . Don't use stop leak products . Would most likely void the warranty . Have been doing oil changes and working on cars ( nothing major ) for over 25 years .

I know just a wee bit about how gaskets function and you can't
fix a head gasket with prayer-in-a-can.

When did they start making plastic head gaskets? I've seen lots of plastic gaskets, including plastic intake gaskets, but that's a new one for me.
