I finally received the plug I ordered from Toyota. It took about a week longer than it was supposed to, but it arrived. I stopped at NAPA and picked up oil drain plug gaskets--I didn't get any part numbers, just use common sense. The gaskets I got were not exactly the size of the plugs, slightly bigger. As long as it makes a good seal under the plug you should be fine. It worked like a charm! I've ran it a couple times since fixing it and I don't see any oil leaks yet. A handy trick too: if you don't have a 14mm allen key, take a bolt with a 14 mm head, add a couple nuts to the bolt and tighten them on. Use the bolt as an allen key, just put the head of the bolt in the plug and turn it with a wrench. Worked great for me!
Thanks for everones help, and a big thanks to IHateHacks for posting this incredibly cheap, effective fix! Trevor |
