I've been reading about the Blitz oil pan here on the list...

Apparently I have an older version of the pan - it's at least 15 years
old.  I don't have the conical plug, my plug is rather large and not
conical - and has never cracked.  It also always leaked a bit when the
pan was turned on end.  I finally fixed that by slipping a large O-ring
around the plug that seals when it's screwed down - never a drop of leak
since then.  The pour spout also leaked, but I replaced that cap with
one from a pop bottle with a plastic seal under the cap - it's never
leaked since.

I also have one of their yellow "open top" versions of the same pan -
it's perfect for draining radiators and pouring the used coolant into
bottles for disposal.
