ok so i noticed that i have a small oil leak.(like 2-3 drops) it only happens when i have the car sitting for about 4 days . So i took a look under the car and this is what i see. its coming from the oil pan but it also looks like there are two oil plugs ? Is this a problem that they have?
Thanks

If it's your plugs try putting a rubber disc under the plug head abd tightening out down

Doubt it's the plug itself. If the plug was over tightened it could have caused a small warp in the pan. The o-ring will take care of that.

Yes, all Winsor motors in fox body cars have two drain plugs. They talk about front or rear sump oil pans, but the oil pan is kind of a double sump with the K member.

Not to be picky, but it is usually a flat washer, rubber center, often a metal ring. Or a nylon type plastic washer. I usually use PTFE tape, but the quick change and dealerships use the washers.

I was thinking about the universal ones next to the oil plugs on the end cap or in the Motormite HELP section, but the Fel Pro number works too.
