I vote for a washer of some sort. I don't like anything with silicone near my oil where it might infiltrate the oil passages and clog an artery
Geez. If its that bad, I'd be in contact with Moroso to get their help. Thats unacceptable.
I heard that they use to make gaskets out of leather, you could try hacking up an old belt and make a washer out of it putting it fuzzy side to the oil. Im sure that over time it would saturate and drip but it would be a quick fix till you could come up with something better. I wouldnt think that a new pan would leak like that.

You do know crush washer should be replaced every time right?
Make a washer out of gasket material from advance auto, its the grey gasket roll on the shelf. The plastic washers eventually leak and split. I had a milodon oil pan that i had to file the threaded bung flatter so the bolt tightened flusher against the oil pan.
why not just go to the auto parts store and get a rubber washer gasket in the help section for drain plugs?
I've tried lots of stuff over the years, and the thing that finally stopped drips for good was pasting some ultra black silicone on the plug threads before you put it back in. Every time you change the oil, clean off the old silicone and reapply. Using this method, my car doesn't drip a single drop.
I'm not sure how that would happen, it's super common (and often specified) to use silicone on things like valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, oil pan gaskets, etc. Why not use it on drain plugs?
I use a rubber gasket, copper washer, teflon tape, sealant, and o ring.
