You proably only need a new copper gasket or go with the Fumoto Valve

I agree. I had the same problem and switched to the Fumoto valve and everything is good.

Drain plug washer

When my drain plug began to have a tiny drip, I got a new washer which fixed the problem. I was also told at the time to flip the washer with every oil change. This was before I got the Fumoto valve for ease of drainage.
