Need a little more history on it. How bad is it leaking? Any recent oil changes? If so, did you use a new crush washer? Did the threads on the bolt look like there was anything in between? If so, could be aluminum and you stripped the oil pan. Did you over tighten to the point where you said to yourself, "I think I went to far." 9 time out of 10 if you think it...it happened.
