Hey, I have an oil leak coming from my sump plug, now I thought It could be the seal, So I went to go buy a copper washer and put it on...But Its still leaking and I tightened it up well.. Please I need your help, oil is expensive just to waste, plus its a lot of oil that is leaking, mainly when the engine is hot...

Hi there,

Toyota use a soft fiber seal, i would be using one of there, also check for any old seal left on the sump and if it still leaks you may have a cracked sump.
