Not sure what the torque spec is but mine was finger tight and was seeping fluid. Not sure where the previous owner did but I just tightened to a snug feeling and it hasn’t leaked since.

not the Drain plug. the bolts that meet the pan/gasket/engine i think theres like maybe 10 bolts? thankfully the pan isnt Huge its just a small lil pan so if anything a snug fit with a mini ratchet shud be enough.

Make sure that the oil pan is really leaking, I had a leak coming from the front crank pulley seal and worked its way to the oil pan. Make sure there are no oil trails above the oil pan, as that oil collects at the pan.

it wasn’t the drain plug. It was all the small 10mm bolts that hold the pan that were finger loose. It’s almost like the person who worked on it last forgot to torque them down.
