I've also come across a couple (my own 1009 included) with leak issues
either between the filter and filter base, or either drain cock seal. I
don't have the info in front of me unfortunately, but from what I remember
the drain cock seal was a known problem at GM, and a replacement style was
made available. Maybe someone else around this place will be able to
remember the details.
It's a good idea to sort all this stuff out as it happens because those
starters do NOT like long winding sessions trying to start your vehicle.
Been there, done that.
