Than I discovered that the drain bolt is leaking without any detection possibly because it does it why driving. I put on a new gasket since no one was installing gaskets since it didn't fit OEM. Now I'm good. No more burning. Is there any better gaskets? Also if that valve thing come with special gaskets?

I cut out a gasket from a bigger PTFE gasket. Its a soft teflon material and works with high temperatures and on rough and uneven surfaces. Your plug most likely leaked because the new threads probably weren't tapped dead straight. This gasket would help in such situations.
