Transom plug works great. Just be sure to cut off the shoulder at the top of the rubber piece and clean the plug and tube thouroughly with degreaser before using.

Changed all 6 spark plugs. 1st one was a PIA. Last one was a piece of cake!

Anyway, 2 tubes on driver side had oil. One on pass side had a little and the other was oozing lightly. So definitely going to replace all 6 tubes and connector plugs. Coils look fine.

Does anyone know where I can find step by step instructions to replace the tubes and the connector plugs?

And do I need to remove the spark plugs to do the above? Thanks.
