Oil Leak

I got my oil changed Friday and when I got home noticed a big oil spot on driveway but looking under the truck could not see where it was coming from, drove to Panama City to work and noticed another oil spot, got home late and Sunday am crawled under truck with spotlight, saw oil dripping from oil plug, it was loose and the square hole where it was tightened looked really bad like the wrong tool was used to loosen it before oil change, I was so mad and upset, lost a lot of synthetic oil that was put in on Friday so now I got to go back Monday and insist on refilling with new oil, traffic is terrible due to all volunteers going to disaster area from hurricane, it hit 35 miles to the east of us, unbelievable damage and now I got to waste time with the bozos who changed my oil
where can I find a replacement oil plug for my Dodge 2001 2500 Diesel Turbo?

Welcome to DTR.

Your words "square hole" has me a little puzzled...

I get my magnetic replacement oil plugs fro Geno's Garage.
I also change my own oil so I don't have to deal with shoddy work.
The oil change on a Cummins is really easy and clean.

It's been so long since I changed the oil on my 01 but, if I'm not mistaken Oliver, the drain plug is like a 3/8" or 1/2" ratchet size plug. Parts store might have one?
