Stripped oil drain plug - what to do next

[Radek]

Hi Guys;
I was too ham handed and the damage is done:  the plug turns freely and oil drips slowly, forming a small puddle under the car overnight.  Too much to just keep driving, I need to fix it.

The plug looks fine, damage is probably limited to the oil pan.

I'm thinking of first running a tap through the oil pan to try to repair the thread.  Perhaps a new plug would also help, just in case.  If not, replacing the oil pan for $$$.  Will appreciate any suggestions.

Radek.
