I while back i had my oil changed and after it was changed i noticed drips of oil about every 10 seconds coming from the oil plug, i left it alone and refilled oil as neccessary until i needed another change and now the bolt just spins and wont loosen or tighten and now it is dripping even more requesntly when my father inlaw tried to shock it off with a neumatic ratchet i was going to get an oil pan off a lude in a pick n pull and just swap em out but i cant get the dang bolts off the exhaust where it meets the headers, i just don't have the strength or power tools (neumatic ratchet) and i think i might be going too far out of my way and might just be able to weld something or re tap it..any suggestions.. PLEASE HELP!!!

if you can yank the old bolt out and re-tap the hole you should be strait, but if it were me, i'd just get a new oil pan. bring your car to the local muffler shop and have them loosen the bolts for you, drive home and do the rest yourself. sometimes heating the bolts with a blowtorch loosens them up just enough to get 'em started...good luck.
