How can I stop my oil pan plug from leaking by. I have tried different plugs,sealers, and gaskets.?

First time I had trouble was after serviced at Walmart a few years back. It started as a slow drip. Now no matter what I try drips even more.How can I stop my oil pan plug from leaking by. I have tried different plugs,sealers, and gaskets.?
maybe try putting 2 passes of teflon tape over the threads. don't put the tape on backwards. you'll know if you put it on backwards when you screw it in.How can I stop my oil pan plug from leaking by. I have tried different plugs,sealers, and gaskets.?
you need a new oil pan
they probably damaged the thread when screwing it back in by cross threading it, get it checked out, if they have and tape does not work then you could re-thread it and try a larger plug or buy a new pan.
replace the oil pan
