Default XK8 oil plug???

pan plug, should the plug bolt thingy have a o-ring or some type of washer with it?
I changed my oil, when I pulled the plug I SWARE I saw a little rubber ring or washer like thing on the bolt. When I went to put it back in the pan it was not there so I assumed I was seeing things. Now it is leaking from the friggin bolt.

Problem is that I have to stick SOMETHING in the hole (my finger) while I am sorting through the rings for the right one. Shoud it be a thing ring, slim one? One that fits the complete bottom side of the head????????

Can't find any pics besides this from Jagbits, says plug and washer, but maybe the washer has a little gasket on it?
