you might try looking for a 14mm x 1.5mm oil drain plug. After searching Google it looks like BMW and maybe others use that sized plug. Not sure what the threads should look like. Would something like this work? http://www.z1enterprises.com/product...14-x-15mm.aspx

. At Home Depot, their bolt drawer goes from 12mm to 16mm, completely skipping 14mm, I don't get it!

i had the same issue with the 95 ls400, the leak was slow but now its takes 3-4 days and the whole steering fluid is almost gone. After reading i spend about 108% for replacing the vacuum valve that everyone talks part number 17630-16040 about 3 days ago, the leak is still there and pissing me off, any suggestions.

Hey, why not just clamp the two vacuum lines together? They would be cut off and no where for the fluid to be sucked in to the air system. Maybe use a SPLIT BOLT CONNECTOR (look up images of this on the Google). Run both vacuum lines through, and tighten it down.
Hmmm then the only problem would be the leaking ATF fluid under pressure would blow the vacuum lines off the valve body I guess. Oh well.
