fck is that ever clean, can anyone confirm those oilpan bolts are OEM. never seen those bolts so clean, makes me wonder, has the oil pan ever been removed?

did the clean it to find teh leak? is that what I am seeing?

and the alt plug, the button has been smashed away, its was in the centre in the first pic, I would now try a small electrical type flat head and try to pry whats left of the locking tab

also, an oil leak can help particles of road shit get into conectors making them hard to release, probably your experience
