Subject:      Got an '85/'90 Westy

Hello All : My wife bought us a 1985 Westfalia camper! Got it second hand off an recently deceased, German-Canadian, War Amputee by the name of Bodo Schnell. Yes, the title shows that as his last name. He allegedly dropped a rebuilt '90 motor in in 20K ago. She's a beautiful machine, but there's oil leaking ssslowwly off the oil drain plug. As well (but this isn't exactly well) it kinda looks like it was put in crooked. UNTIL I can locate the proper plug size, I don't think I oughta pull it out until I have both that, and another item suggested by a friend that's made for the purpose of fitting stripped assemblies here: some kind of rubber plug. Don't have more info on that in terms of name, etc... Can anyone here steer me toward : 1. Where I may obtain the _proper_ size plug.

                                                2. The aforementioned rubber, 'miracle oil plug'

                                                3. Out of curiousity, anyone with information about the late Bodo Schnell, of Canton, Ohio.  Appreciate any help!
