About the plug "almost falling out": I have to say I was really surprized
at how loose it was. Upon inspection, the barbs that hold it in looked
just fine and dandy, and had plenty of "spring" left in them. Couldn't see
any difference between the rear loose 'n' leaky one and the front one which
was somewhat tighter. Maybe a difference in the tolerance of the plug
hole?
