So I have an oil leak coming down the back side of my motor and dripping off of my bell housing. I know the first step will be to use some purple power and clean it up the best I can and try to trace. I will be doing this. However, I know that the oil rail plugs are known to leak and arent too terribly expensive to replace. So I was thinking of purchasing four of them from here:

along with the loctite recommended by Ford.

I have read the rear ones are a pain, so I should have fun with those lol. I plan on lubing them up with some PB blaster and having a go at them. I also figured replacing these is just another good thing to do before I ship it to Germany.:sly

Any other things to check for leaks that are common?
