Hey guys just wondering if anyone has ever had this problema and if so what did you do to fix it.... I bought a 96 warrior and i guess the idiot before cross threaded the oil drain plug and didn't realize/care, now it drips constantly.... is there anything i can do to fix it? I checked the threads on the block and they are kind of mangled as well... are these engine blocks aluminum and if so can you rethread them? any answers would be much appreciated...

I'll 2nd the Napa choice, they have access to quite a few sizes, and oddball sizes.
As long as its just X-threaded, that'll fix it. If its stripped, then heli-coil (or perma-coil) it. Napa can get those easily. Bring them the drain plug, so they can confirm the size needed.
If you think it's just the plug, then go buy a new plug, they're like 7 bucks at the dealer.
As far as other auto parts stores that actually carry a decent selection of... well... anything, napa is the only one worth trying around here for hard to get stuff. The rest of the chain places just carry the most common, run of the mill stuff.
Harbor freight might be worth trying for the tap, sometimes you can get lucky there and find what you need, they get some oddball stuff.
