Like me? So it is the red plug, huh? Did your's have some sort of paste sealer around the red plug, on the thread area? Are you going to replace that paste? With what?

sealing the threads wont do anything, as i believe there is another seal inside that fitting. i just tightened it back up. there is also a drain plug on the engine block, but i didnt open that or look into where it is located exactly.
