Hi Greg,
nearest NAPA store or equivalent? Take the drain bolt with you to make sure you get the correct size. Any copper or aluminum or red fiber washer that fits will work. Or go upmarket with a bonded sealing washer.

A spark plug washer works.

Even with a brand new bolt and washer mine leaked so i put some Teflon tape on the threads and that stopped the leak.

Yeah, good idea, oldyam80sg. I always use a new crush washer, teflon tape on the bolt threads, and spread a little RTV on the washer. Never had a leak yet.
