Nathan, Do you have the drain plug tool or are you just using an open end wrench? You will be able to get the plug a lot tighter (and undamaged) if using the right tool. Grady has them.

I did two wraps of Teflon, still leaked, then I did a bunch of Teflon and now it is only leaking very slowly (maybe a drop per 12 hours). I am going to leave it for now until I order a magnetic plug and change to synthetic oil.
