Bud:
The standard plug is a pipe thread, and is self sealing.
It sounds like your magnetic plug is not of that type, and relies on a
seal
between the head and the bung. Try a copper or perhaps nylon washer.
FYI, on my car the leak was between the bung and the pan. It did not
stop
leaking until I removed the pan and had the bung brazed. You should check this
as well while you are trying to fix the leak.

Subject: [6pack] TR6 Oil Plug washer
List,
Is there a particular type of washer that is supposed to be between
the oil pan and oil plug? I have a magnetic plug but can't seem to
get it to stop leaking.
