The sump had a knock? the sump plug mating face might not be perfectly flat?

have you got a washer on the sump plug?

Ease up on the text speak mate
Did you change the washer when you changed the plug? maybe the thread in the sumps forked?

Temporary fix would be to drain the sump, clean out the threrads and put some silicone on the bolt and round the washer area and screw it back in.
