Curious of how you managed to import glk from canada to U.S. I also relocated south of border and requested compliance letter from Benz Canada which was denied due the lack of tmps sensors and no retrofit is available. Perhaps there's an importer who can get the importing done w/o compliance letter etc?
Always best to start a new thread with proper title, vs hijacking a thread. You can always reference a username (@some-name) in the new thread, to draw their attention , and they should see a notification related to them.

I have been driving my car without the splash cover since I fixed this issue. The rainy season is about to come, I lifted my car to reinstall the cover. Interestingly the drain plug was again leaking the oil very very little (no drops on my garage floor, but around the drain plug, it was slightly wet with engine oil). I applied proper torque when fastening the drain plug (30Nm).
What could be possible reasons it leaks again? Maybe the guys who worked on engine oil applied too much torque (I don't think that they used a torque wrench) and messed up the plug?
