I like to clean the threads before I replace the plug. I honestly have never (on any of my cars) replaced the crush washer. I always reuse the one on there. But I throughly clean the threads of the plug, and pan drain, then insert.

Perhaps there's a stripped thread or 2, enough to cause some leakage. I'd try tapping the drain hole, or having a shop do it, as it'll likely be cheaper than a new pan.

Are you sure there isn't a leak from somewhere else, and it's just dripping from the low point plug?
