Do you have any pictures of the o-ring you used?

Looks like that may have solved the drain plug leaking issue GORDON.M3 had.

I don't have pictures unfortunately. I was all set to use a viton o-ring from a kit of various sizes and then opted to use the one from the ECS plug. They include it with the dct service kit.

I have to thank GORDON.M3 for pointing out the potential for leaks though. Saved me a lot of headache. The pan should have come with a synthetic o ring not the copper washer.

Sadly I was in a rush and didn't have time to experiment. My friend's shop is extremely busy, I was going to do a full tear-down to make it work but I got really fed up with the coating on the pan. VividRacing issued a refund and returned all the units they had from the supplier/removed it from their site. Even upper management said its an unfinished product after they inspected it themselves.

I'm planning to buy another pan down the road, or have one made myself CNC so that is why I did not bother with the Wortech one.

Glad the O-ring worked, I was going to use teflon tape if I couldn't refund it.
