It is great to eliminate oil leaks on M273 and M272 and feels good to have a clean engine. What is your experience with these 4 plastic parts?

I don’t know why but I’ve got 410k miles and never had the driver side cam plugs leak. There most likely original..
Thanks for the video, as these simple fixes will help future and current owners of mercedes of this era save on maintenance that can add up in cost.
