I have actually pinpointed my leak to that expansion plug. I put some gasket sealer around the bottom of it, and it slowed the leak quite a bit. I will do a better repair next spring, because I have the thrower on it now and the leak is not too bad.
I don't know if you have the same rear end on your 682. I believe some of the later model 82 series did not have the cast iron rear end. I could be mistaken. I am not an expert.
If you have the cast iron rear end, then that plug is definitely something to check.
