Hi guys, when I pulled the sump drain plug( the one with the o ring), I noticed the o ring was at the base of the threads. My question is shouldn’t it be within the groove just below that? I’m not sure f I did it wrong last time. The picture will show where it presently is. I just want to be sure.
Thanks in advance, Eric

You did it wrong. Does not look damaged. Id just place it in the grove and put it back in. Order a set of crush washers and this O ring for the next time. I re-use the crush washer.
 
Yep wrong spot. Not to worry your tank probably leaked down faster then most. Looks a wee bit deformed. If you need to ride slip it in the groove spin her up and order one. Either way you need one.

Now back to my Menudo

Warp, what do you mean by saying my tank leaked down faster than most?
What is this o ring for? Doesn’t the crush washer prevent a leak onto the ground?
I have no indication of oil on my garage floor.
