[C320-list] External Oil pipe replacement

Has anyone on the list replaced the external oil pipe yet on their Yanmar
3GM30F?  I'm fairly certain that this is the source of a very minor leak on
the starboard side of the engine.  It’s hard to see exactly since the leak
appears to be somewhat behind the fuel line leading to the lift pump.  I
want to replace this ASAP since a complete failure might be a real problem
while under way.  If you have done this repair were there any gotchas with
getting to all the banjo bolts?   I have not yet investigated this aspect
of the repair and was hoping it wasn’t one that unravels into removing a
whole bunch of other externals just to the oil pipe get off, or if it does
that I go ahead and get the parts to do PM on those things as well.

Thanks
