Ok well I'm not sure what exactly happened..I changed my oil, and the drain bolt on the main tank(the one with the dipstick) is dripping oil out of the drain bolt. I noticed it was very odd that when I tried to tighten the bolt, it pretty much wouldnt stop spinning after a certain point. Anyone else have this problem?

Your stripped it out. You can not over tighten the bolts. Their steel bolts in aluminum...It will strip easy. Your going to have to drill the hole bigger then tap it or try a helicoil(can't gaurntee that will work).
