![]() | has a little problem Ok so i was doing an oil change on my 500 XT today when i accidentaly stripped my oil plug, so needless to say it now leaks oil...So im just woundering what the best way to fix this would be. I heard a larger self tapping oil plug or even a heli coil kit would work. Would appreciate some help with this problem |

Best perminent fix would be re-thread & new plug (oversized if needed) and clean up/re-thread the belly pan. If you can clean up the threads and get it to start try using thread tape to seal the leak....
