Default ye olde oil leak

I have done everything short of removing the tranny to check the galley plugs on the back of my 428 PI with 2500 miles. After sitting overnight when the oil temp has gotten to 80C I have a spot on the floor the size of two half dollars. It is no small chore since the tranny has to come out the top which requires a lot of upholstery removal. I installed a new pan, and had the rear main replaced. The leak is coming from the front of the bell housing. The valve covers are dry as is the back of the intake manifold. How common is it for a galley plug to leak? Any ideas?
Thanks, John
