Take the cover off.. Hold the gasket in place on the cover.. You will see that the gasket is covering part of the drain hole.. I cut the gasket on mine so that I can drain it better..
This is interesting. When I drain my oil, I just let it drain till it drips, tilt it forward a bit till it just drips and then reinstall the plug. I have never seen oil let in the sight glass after it has been drained because I watch the sight glass as I slowly refill it.

As USAFANG6799 mentioned that he did, I ended up clipping the gasket just slightly and now every last drop drains out without issue.Thanks everyone that gave a suggestion in this post. You guy's are the best!Tom
When I change the oil I usually remove the oil vent cap to help it drain a bit faster which I'm hoping will help with getting rid of the sediment which accumulate near the oil drain plug.Just remember to put it back on because I'm sure it will make a mess if you run without it.
