OK, here with go. Wait for a surprise(?) ending.
First I took off the front sheet metal, alternator, and blower housing. Looking around, not much I did not see from underneath. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Under UV, the same indication that the galley plugs leaked.

No indication of leaks from the front seal.

Some older-looking oil on the case flange and the left motor mount. I think this is left over from the topside spill.

Looks like the stock front plug is also leaking.

Oil pooled on top of the filter, almost certainly from above.

As planned I went to remove the oil cooler, but the bracket for the Hall sensor is in the way. So another part comes off.

The cooler seals actually look pretty good. But there's a clue from up above the cooler.

Yup, there's my creative plumbing for the dual oil pressure senders. I guess I have been in denial about the potential for this to leak.

No denying now--this looks like a real leak.

I pulled all the sheet metal on the right side for better access.

And the oil filter mount. This gasket looks good.

And finally the galley plugs. The upper one looks wet.

But the smaller plug on the right side, on the casting for the oil cooler mount, looks dry.

I have to think about what to do with the oil pressure senders, but replacing the galley plugs should be easy, right?
Here is what I used last time. Attached thumbnail(s) |
