Just a quick update on how this job went. I did end up draining all the oil to be safe. I think I could have just drained the sump and been ok.

The whole job of replacing the two driver side tubes (the worst side and hardest to access) was really very easy. Crushing the stock tubes and twisting removed them very easily. Installing the aluminum expanding type tubes was easy and the only challenge is to get the C clip to engage the locking groove on the inner tube just due to access but between the C clip pliers and a long screw driver, it went very well.

I am now totally drip free so will see how long this lasts. Thanks
