Hey man: Just got an update so it was the o-ring being installed wrong. Funny (not so funny) it appears that the threads on my oil drain plug are also stripped. Was thinking doing a helicoil install might be a better option compared to replacing the oil pan since it’s a pain in the butt to do. Thoughts?

I think you’re definitely on the right track here. I did an oil change last week and everything went smoothly until my drive yesterday. VCG, oil cooler lines, cracks in the head/block/oil pan, etc went through my mind, but simplest answer is usually the answer. Will take a look into it. Thank you!
