I found that one of the supply tubes on mine has been rubbing and leaking for awhile. 77500 miles on a 2005 turbo. The tube rubs against the radiator and in my case was made worse when I replaced a missing bolt in the thermostat that anchors it to the radiator. The original tubes and cooler are no longer available. new tubes and cooler any where from $435 to $800 depending on your supplier. I'll get pictures as I try to get the parts in and submit my hopefully successful results. I'm not dropping the engine. I'm trying from the front with the bumper cover off.

you are lucky you got your starter holes centered:-) i'm never that good"-( try JeTexas's idea with this twist. some of the machine supply shops like MSC and local supply stores sell lefthand drill bits, (they cut in the opposite direction). Your's sound like they may be to solid to pop loose but you might try it. get a set of the sizes you would use the drill out the stud in steps. Drill all the way thru the stud, have some modeling clay handy, squirt the lube up in and plug the hole for a day or 2. Then use the reverse bits to start drilling out the stud. if the bit does bind in the stud it may pop the stud loose. buy extra's i usually break one or two. Good luck and let know what works best.
