Trying to figure out if I have two oil leaks or an oil and transmission leak on my 73 Duster 318

That's an old "plug in a plug" usually installed by the quick lube places when dealing with a stripped out pan. There is a gasket on the big part that self taps into the pan and has a gasket (and stays there). The small part has a pipe thread.........Put some teflon tape on the small plug when you change your oil, and make sure that you use a larger wrench on the big lug when you loosen and tighten the smaller plug........Or fix it properly :)


Shouldn’t that small part be able to thread all the way in? It’s leaking down those threads but I tried to tighten by hand and can’t get it to budge.

The right way would be either to re-thread the oil pan or just buy a new pan, right?
