Oil Sump Seal ? Was told i needed one for my 1998 Renault Clio Biarritz 1.4?

Did an oil change and now I have a leak .Nut is tight and not stripped. Was told i needed a seal for my oil sump bolt? If there is one I can't find it on the web....help please!Oil Sump Seal ? Was told i needed one for my 1998 Renault Clio Biarritz 1.4?
There is a washer on the oil drain plug, which ideally should be replaced at every oil change. There are two types depending on the material the oil sump is made of. A steel sump has a copper washer, renault part number 7703062062. A washer for an aluminium sump is 8200641648. My guess is that yours is the copper one, as when this washer is used it crushes up to form a seal, rendering it useless a second time. If you don't want to go to a renault dealer for the part, try euro car parts, or gsf. they can both be found on the web.Oil Sump Seal ? Was told i needed one for my 1998 Renault Clio Biarritz 1.4?
is just a washer that goes a round oil drain plug you can buy at any parts store just say you need a new oil drain plug really place you had work done shouldnt have let you drive away with out fixing it since with it leaking you can lose all your oil and mess up motor and if its leaking you have to drain oil and start over but not hard to find onbe most auto parts store shouldhave them in stock if not a dealer would have one about 5 bucks
