Seeping Front Oil Galley Plug

Whilst installing the way-cool RPM Upgrade Oil Cooler, I notice a trace of oily residue weeping from the front oil galley plug.

I'm too lazy to search, so is this as easy as a new o-ring, or should I replace the plug with an RPM product?

I know I don't want to over torque it.

Thanks,

Mine had developed a crack, not sure if the hole for the safety wire was responsible or if it was over-tightened at one point - some pics here.
