It’s not a quick leak, more of a slow drip and not a big puddle thank goodness! I was looking for an independent mechanic for my plan B… in the event the dealer says they won’t do the work. Thanks, good idea!
Don’t look for the dealer to fix this, even though it sounds like the problem originated with an OEM service unit. Any decent mechanic could assess the damage and either use a thread repair kit or measure the size of the bolt. After that a Fumoto or EZ oil drain valve could be fitted to avoid having to remove the plug again.

I’m at the Honda service center and they’re doing the kit fix I believe. Should last 5 oil changes so by then I’ll be able to replace the unit. Cost is $100😊
If you remove the plug to repair it, I assume oil drains out? Are they at least changing oil?
Absolutely! Actually it cost $88, I received a discount so I’m happy lol
Thanks to everyone who helped, I learned a lot on this feed. I also recommended this site to an older lady at the service center. This is a great resource for us!
