What do you guy's think about this? I'm covered with all of these items but still can't seem to picture the galley plug. Either way, I will know on Monday to see what it truly is.
Galley plug..it's a freeze plug. It's a hole that's used during the manufacturing process. Then blocked off at the end with this plug. Very unlikely.

Bad block? Again, very unlikely. Doubt it would only surface after 80k miles.

This really shouldn't be taking this long..get your vehicle to another dealer/tech.
