oil pan bolt

I have a very small oil leak from around my oil pan bolt. Its not even enough to really make a difference but it bothers me either way. I think its also only when I'm on a hill becasue I changed my oil over a week ago and its not showing low at all on the dipstick. Any way I can stop it and still be able to get the plug out later on?

how do u guys get under your car?? I can get 2 sets of jacks from my mates. But is it safe to get under the car support from just those.?? Any ideas?

leaking from the drain plug?

If you are needing it fixed before your next oil change, you could have a friend hold a wet/dry vacuum hose to the filler (the suction should keep the oil in the motor) and undo the plug put a gasket on from an auto parts store... but keep a drain pan under the car just in case

well it has a new gasket. i was thinkin the other day that it may be too stiff and needs to be driven on a little bit to conform to the bolt/hole.
