I would think the plug and oil leak problems unrelated
After dropping my motor for my trans rebuild I found the major source for my persistent oil leak on my exchangers
THe oil thermostat on the engine has a O ring seal that with age got very brittle and shrunk ,hence it had a sizeable leak from it ,coupled with a few loose bolts on the oil cooler cover caused oil to leak to the cooler plugging it up in spots on the top of it
As you accelerate or hit the brakes it causes the oil thats pooled up in the various spots on your motor to run out
Unfortunately the only way I can see to fix the Oring on the thermostat is to drop the motor
