I've had a weap of oil from the rear axle so I decided to do an oil change & try to stop the leak. Since changing, the leak has got worse from around the drain plug.
The drain plug screws directly into the casing and does not have a sealing flange to form a seal against the casing as a typical engine sump drain would have. The seal must be made by the screw threads.
Can anyone help please with advice how to get a good seal. The only article I've found on the net suggests PTFE tape.

On the shop floor (many years ago)we used to apply a small amount of Red Hermatite to the threads of the drain and level plugs. I am sure Hylomar or any other brand would work as well.
