    I recently bought my college age daughter a 92 accord. It runs great but
    there was an oil leak. I tracked it down to the drain plug but as I tried to
    tighten it I realized it's stripped as I couldn't torque it down. Is this a
    repair the average guy can do at home?

    Waiving the right to remain silent, "m_corbelli"
    It could be as simple as purchasing a new plug. But if the threads in the
    oil pan are stripped, you're probably going to be getting a replacement pan,
    or pay to have someone cut out and replace the threads somehow. Depends on
    how it is built.
