My starboard chainplate has developed a leak. Anyone had this issue and resolved it? Just want some tips before I dive into it...

Can’t help with specific model advice but through deck chainplates usually have a cover at the deck which has been screwed down over a gasket, or gloop from a tube. with the constant flexing of rigging and deck this eventually gives up.
I find Butyl tape works very well in sealing most deck hardware, and is readily available from window installers / Amazon / flea bay, and is available in white, it seals things for many years as it doesn’t dry out and crack or split.
Perhaps there is some ‘trick’ with your model that an owner will come along with.
hope the drips stop soon
