I have cleaned up the sealing surface and will see how this works. If it does not then time for some re-enginnering as others have suggested.
Ok, well you said plastic plug earlier. Maybe look for a fatter o-ring. Also Steeda makes this part for Mustangs. Sold by Summit. All else I can suggest is don't overfill. Normal oil level is just to the bottom of the fill port on the passenger side ...
