I'd drive back and tell 'em to start replacing stuff!!! You can always try to chase it or helicoil it but why? They should be fixin it at they're expense, not yours!!!!

Well today in the garage I saw a little spot of oil on the floor, so i look at eh drain bolt and it is wet, so i put a socket on it with a extenison and no ratcet, I turn the bolt and it just keeps spinning, it will start to tighten and then loosen back up.
