It looks like you had trouble installing the new plug. I would try again. Drain the oil down below where it will leak. Then clean the hole out with brake/parts cleaner. Make sure there is no old paint in the hole from the old freeze plug. Then I usually apply some Permatex sealer ( old black form-a-gasket type) on the out side edge of the freeze plugs. I also use a socket that fits the inside of the plug to use as a driver to install it. I have not had any problems getting them to be leak free.
The brass type they are talking about can be boughten at just about any true Auto parts store: Napa, Car Quest, etc. The Advanced Auto and Auto Zone tyep will not know what you are asking about.

You could not drive a new one in because the fire wall was in the way. The brass one work OK but they can come out too. So they are not always the perfect thing either. Plus they cost ten times the regular steel cup ones.
