A hole in the firewall has been drilled before by people to access those plugs. How much did the dealer quote you to do the repair? I don't know what their procedure to change them is.

Could have been worse. Basically all labor, but at least you got it fixed.

It's got air in the system. It will do that for up to 200 miles. Take it and run it pretty hard and it will clear up faster.
