I was mistaken, I talked to the friend who changed the oil for me and they are studs and nuts. He has worked on vw's for years, built 11 dune buggies and 2 airplanes. He told me to check the nut but if the stud comes out with it, obviously its stripped. He has a metric tap so we can drill it out if needed and us a larger step stud. I think this must have been an issue for the prior owner, because it was like they siliconed the plate on before they tightened the nuts, hence no leaking. It would have been nice if they would have put a new plate on with a plug before they siliconed it last time, but that's life.

Thanks again guys,

Greg
