Default Primary drain plug

OK folks, I was a dumb a$$ not paying attention to what I was doing andafter I drained and changed the primary fluid. I screwed the bolt back in tight and leaks a bit now. I know its not supposed to be put in real tight but...... Can I wrap the threads in teflon tape? or is there something else I can dowith it,its not stripped but in too far I guess.

I always put teflon tape in the bolt, and just screw it without been too tight. If it's not very damaged this would do that the oil don't drop.

If you have a newer bike it will have an o-ring. Replace it. If not, I use white loctite which you can get at autozone. It is a thread sealer/locker and is made for hydraulic connections so it seals drain plugs very well.
