LA Oiling Question

They say those plugs leak anyway.
Some came without plugs and just the plate, stock plate, not the MP one you show.
If it has an mp part number... It's not stock.
But the flat thrust plate allowed leakage.
I have never run the pin hole bullshit and have not found a reason too. It's a leak, it will affect the main oil psi in the reflected amount of bleed off at the pin hole.
I forget, don’t all three bolts thread into a non-pressurized area? I believe that’s what I saw when I put my 360 together. If so, it’s not a pressure leak, it’s just a path for oil to get to the sprockets and chain. The hole is so small, not much oil is getting through it non-pressurized.
