2003 jetta tdi 5spd. My mother's car- she hit a bad bump that broke the pan. Fortunately she shut the car down when the oil light came on and had it towed to MrChill's. He replaced the oil pan with a new aftermarket unit but (what appears to be) the oil drain plug has a constant small drip. I'm suspicious that it is the actual oil drain plug (since it's the lowest point on the sump) as that's often misdiagnosed.
Nevertheless I purchased a new plug with a rubber seal set in place and thought that took care of it, but a few days later I can see that didn't, or slowed it down
Is this a common problem with aftermarket oil pans? Could it be leaking from the turbo lines but just look like it's the drain plug?
