Oil change kit should have 2 circular paper gaskets, a new copper washer for the sump plug and new little copper washers for the bolts that hold the
plate on. Make sure you take the plate off and give the oil screen a good wash in petrol or similar and the plate also, then fit up with the new
gaskets and washers etc.
Cheers,
Ian.

When you do the sump plug and plate nuts up again dont go balistic
They are crush washers and the 6? nuts on the plate are sort of fragile
Firm but tight - but no Hulk impersonations, ok?

Yes, just use small spanners and a small amount of force...
especially with the 6 or 8 small nuts around the plate....
I'll bet everyone wishes that their oil leaks were that easy to fix !!!!!!!
