Are you having problems with water getting in? How much water do you think? Is it enough that when you just open the drain plug a crack, water flows out for a while before any oil comes out? Or is it just that the fluid gets a milky appearance? If it is just a little bit of moisture, that is normal and is caused by temperature changes making water vapor in the air condense in the rear end. If it is a sizeable amount of water, then it is probably coming from the bolts you mentioned. I was able to remove the ones on our 1940 M with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet and a socket and a little yanking. It wasn't really bad. It all depends though. On ours, the threads were still clean and there was no rust in them, so water wasn't getting in there. If you replace them, you might consider putting some silicone or something under it just as some additional security. It's always my policy not to touch something unless I really need to, because a 5 minute project usually ends up becoming a month long affair.
