Not your average leak
When that oring blew out on my truck I thought the truck was on fire. It sprayed 4 quarts of oil before I could get the truck to a stop. The entire cab was filled with smoke to the point that seeing out the windshield was impossible. Simple enough to fix though. I put a little touch of red loctite on the plug before I replaced it.
The pressures behind that plug are so high there is no way that the oring is the only thing that prevents that plug from leaking so it has to be a vibration problem???

The IRP magnet is very easy to replace but I haven't replaced the rod part yet. The only part I see that could be hard to do is getting a wrench or socket on it. It's real easy to replace if it's off the truck. If it has'nt been off before, I'm sure it's tight. When mine went bad all I replaced was the magnet part, I borowed a used spare to get me by.
