My dash 1 ZF is leaking. It appears to be leaking from 2 of the 4 bolts that surround the drain plug. Can I simply torque the bolts up properly?
I also need a ZF drain plug wrench, anyone?

Don't let it bother you, it's just marking it's territory!

Coz, just go to your local Orchard Supply Hardware store, or other Store and pick up a 17MM 'L' Shaped Allen wrench! Thats what I did, there's little room for the side plug, but enough. The bottom is no problem. Trouble is it cost around $15. and the plug socket is at $12. But you still have to pay the shipping AND then wait!! Good-Luck!
I did the same, bought the "L" shaped hex wrench and ground off a little from the end so that it would fit the side plug. They also sell the socket version at Checkers auto parts (but they always run out).
From one of my previous posts:
I have found an alternative that works like a charm for under $10 and is as close as your nearest Home Depot!
In the plumbing section of Home Depot there is a tool made by Brass Craft (Model T143) that is called an "internal Pipe Wrench" for removing 1/2 inch pipe nipples. The main shaft of the tool fits perfectly in the ZF plug and can be used with a regular open-ended wrench, or cut off and used with a socket.
But keeping on-topic... aren't they supposed to leak?

I have sold these on eBay for about two years. If you can't find them locally (Checkers, Kragen) on your own, I will sell and ship to you First Class for total cost of $10.
That is my fellow-PIBB-member good-guy price ;-)
(since I have no eBay or Paypal fees.)
And yea, I'm making a profit but gas is expensive :-)
