It is not the 3 bolts for flange that fail, it is the nut in the middle of the flange for the bearing support.

The bottom green line is the nut that has broken away from the middle of the flange. Once this happens there is a hole in the middle of the flange and oil pours out.

Hate to tell you, since you have a 2003. The picture is a 2003 2.7 and I took it almost 5 years ago when the 2003s first came out.
