Ok, very awesom.e- I filled out their contact form with P/N and Serial Number and will be hearing back from them, according to the auto-responder email.
I haven't restarted the engine but cranked it over as part of doing a compression test and already see fresh oil on the back of the cleaned valley pan.
The drain-tube flange did have a gasket in it, and red silicone where someone else had been into it, probably looking for the leak and had added red rtv to the gasket. The torque figure is in question as the service manual calls for 45 lbs, if I'm reading that correct, which seems like a huge amount for a 5/16 or 8 mm bolt - can't remember which as some bolts metric, some are standard.
