I'm replacing ours too. Should of had them glass it closed.

Check your Mainship drains if you have one !!
I almost lost the whole fitting after grinding around on a rock for a while. I asked the glass guys to close it off but they were reluctant due to oil contamination and lack of access on the inside.
