So I figured this out a few years ago, figured I'd post incase anyone else had the same issue. 1502738393294.jpg
The cap off a bottle of rain-x washer fluid fits perfectly on a plastic oil catch pan. Mine was cracked and leaking all over figured this out by accident. Fits both my large 15 quart pan and smaller 8 quart square pan. So I keep a few extra caps handy.

Lol. I was just thinking about something like this over the weekend. Mine is cracked too. Next time I see some RainX, I'll grab some. Thanks.
 
Mine just leaks as it doesn't have a good seal. I've discovered that wrapping the male threads in aluminum foil and then putting the cap on sealed it up. I have a nearly empty bottle of rain-x washer fluid in my garage I'll be saving the cap for my catch pan.
 
lol
What is with those caps? I have three drain pans and all have missing or cracked caps. Might as well go back to the old galvanized tin pan that makes a hell of a mess when trying to pour it out.
