Thanks, I'm definitely going to make a day of this, I want to go slow and cautious, and I plan to clean and degrease any and every part I remove while I'm at it, to A) ensure a clean mating surface all over and maintain engine cleanliness and B) to help identify future problems or leaks in case anything else is leaking too.
