I finally got the foot back on and now it is leaking oil out of the drain plug. I know the upper plug had a seal on it when I took it off but the bottom one didn't. Is it supposed to have one?

BOTH plugs should have a drain plug seal.
Recommend Part# 830749 (Yellow, Plastic Seal).
As an alternative (if the above is not immediately available), it is "acceptable" to use Part# 191833 (Blue fiber seal).

Or, simply washed away into the drained gear lube.
