VW has had this problem for a few years now on many of it's vehicles. The oil pan is aluminum and strips easily. They have redesigned the oil pan and it now has a steel lower half that will not strip as easily. Have the pan replaced with the newer design (available at any vw dealer). Not knowing how much experience you hve, the pan isn't too hard to replace but there are two bolts near the transmission that are almost impossible to get out without the proper tools. Check the local library for repair manuals or purchase one at most auto part stores.How to replace an Oil Pan on a 2001 VW Jetta?
Not a machanic but I do know that when your tightining the oil pan to the new gasket, be careful not to do it too tightly or there will be ';bows'; in the gasket allowing oil to seep out. Just to keep in mind....
If the drain plug is stripped out and will not tighten up I would first try and clean out the suspected drain hole on the oil pan and if that doesn鈥檛 work I would try and rethread the oil pan to same size first with a new plug and if unsuccessful rethread to a larger plug before you replace the oil pan.
