I'd guess that whoever serviced it last had no 17mm copper washer and siliconed it instead to seal it.

But that's just a guess.

When I first seviced my car the plug was covered with silicone, weeping but it had to come out, so I cleaned it all off and everything was perfect underneath. God only knows why it had been done.

At TVR they told me that this was more than sealing... I hope underneath it will be ok, but not so sure...

The only good thing is that she does not use any oil at all... completly no oil on the parking place
