1.8 gasser oil pan bolt

I need to know the thread pitch of the plug bolt or what the oversize is. Right now after last nights oil change it is leaking when warm and not to nice when tightened  :'(
I am guessing it is metric 14 but I don't know for sure now. I need to know if a 16 would be next and where to get one fast. Thanks LUcas

Unsure of the thread diameter and pitch,
but it should be a standard metric 10mm head bolt.
(I have lost/stripped a couple over the years when replacing pans)
Also,
the bolts used are quite short,
and often when stripped you can replace with a longer bolt of the same size,
and catch some good threads higher in the block...
