Get a new nut and washer... :wink:

Never changed one on mk3 but normally the washer wears allowing oil to drip out. Sometimes they are a compression washer and this fails after being removed and refitted all the time.

I would be suprised uf it is the drain plug thats jiggered, the mk4 ones are very good quality even though the stealers will give you a new one with a filter, more likely to be damaged threads on the sump, common fault.
