It seems many of the TDI's I own have a leaky oil drain plug (not from my own doing). After trying to repair one with gaskets and the repair plug kits and still having the leak I found another solution that has worked well for me. I clean the area around the drain plug of all the oil residue and apply epoxy type steel/aluminum compound. Something like JB weld will work fine. I cover the plug and extend the glue over onto the pan. When it is time to change the oil I just knock out the glue with a hammer and screw driver. It really comes off well and leaves a clean surface behind. Then, I just reseal it up for another 10,000 miles.
