I've had a slight weep on the LH bank for aeons but never to the point it drips. Anyway, last week my mate pointed out a small puddle of oil under the car. Had a gander over the weekend and the rear plug tube was leaking.
Ordered a new one for £6.90 delivered here:

Seemed easier than messing about trying to get the o rings. Arrived today so decided to fit it in my lunch break. 40 minute job lead on the works car park with a 5mm Allen key.
I'll not waffle about fitting as there's already a write-up or two in here. What a did do though was compare the original one with the new one to see how much the seals have changed over time. Measured the larger orange one and there was 2mm difference in the diameters
No wonder it was leaking!!!!
