Sounds as though the threads in the pan for the plug fitting are about worn out. You can try a sealant to see if that would help. If not, the pan fitting might be drilled out & a new heli-coil installed to bring all the sealing threads back up to snuff. -Dave-

Going to clean the bottom of the pan completely clean and check all the threads and possably redrill the fitting for a new Heli-coil thanks for the help.
