I don't think it's too common, but you do have 110k on everything. Nice going by the way. If the leak is only a couple of drops on the floor each week, you might want to learn to live with it. Just check it when you change your oil. The O-Ring I would guess is about $3.60. The labor to change the O-Ring is probably in the $400.00 ballpark.

You are going to love to work on this car. The lift will make all the difference in the world. I give credit to everyone out there that has done this on jack stands.
I don't have the procedure, but, there are a few guys out there that do. I'm sure someone will be in touch soon.
Have a Happy and a Safe New Year
