I'm a little bummed out... I now have a heli-coil where I didn't usta have one, as a repair to an apparently "worn out" oil drain plug (hole). This was a "surprise" repair by a trusted mechanic. It started leaking right after he had it in for other repairs, and an oil change for convenience.

Is this that common among WBX? (This is my first. Engine has less than 45K orig miles, no idea how many prior oil changes, but how many could that really be?).
