I'll order it up. Thank you!
Good update though. Got clarification on the leak. It's on the back side of the motor near the trans. Possible valve cover and I totally can see it as the cause. New gasket and new tube of rtv to try and fix. I guess I need to properly torque the cover. Either too many ugga duggas or not enough. Thankfully it is not up from the Pcv or somewhere obscure.
VC torque is dumb low. I just redid my cover gasket the other month, it only takes like 70-80lb-in per manual spec.

Yeah they say to do a very light TQ but I just kept working around the VC until it felt right. The TQ it was calling for was next to nothing and it was leaking in one corner still where it was "spec tq'd" don't go full ham on it but it should have a little resistance. I worked from the center out and did about 4 passes.
Yeah it converts to like 7-8ftlb, which is laughable. I followed the bolt sequence but just used as small of a 1/4" drive ratchet as I could find, since I don't have a baby-sized torque wrench.
No signs of leaks but it's redone. Tech indeed saw oil not only on the front above the starter but now on the back. I'm having him chase this shit. Also a barometric pressure CEL in the intake manifold so that is cool. LTFT is 10.16 at idle and I'm not smart enough to know if that is good or not.
Bolted the coil packs and fired up. Sounds good. No leaks.

While I don't normally name vehicles, boats are different..I remember your observations on left axle/hub issues... Thought you might enjoy this. First was 3 jaw 10t hydraulic puller, no joy. Since I need a shop press 20t harbor freight...I see this wasn't going to budge "now" fortunately when flew apart was directed downward.. Yeppy

Kachow!
Sent the injectors to, and got em back from Injector RX. 2 were really bad, and took a bit to clean em. Spoke to Nick, the owner, and we may have them on as an approved vendor on MSO soon. Now to get it all installed!
Update,here is the report I received. 1st time I got this.

Leak found. Now injectors were leaking before and obviously never stopped. 42k on em. No misfire code. Slide hammer injector puller actually bent on the injector side these were so locked in. New everything goes in Sunday. Need to break down the carbon and make a clean spot for em to pop in. This car is our evil.

looks pretty bad
CS. Engine spewed oil before and after install. I don't thing they got torqued properly, possibly too tight. not cleaned enough maybe, who knows. Cant remember. Shit happens.
Using the puller was the only way to remove them. They were so stuck, the puller is broken, the ends which held the injectors are bent out so cannot use it anymore. Glad I had it.
Yup. Got like 4 different cans of shit to try and break down the carbon and make it perfect.
Good thing is, not 1 part of the injectors are going back in.
