Advice on putting airbags in while I still have leak

I have been battling the dreaded bellhousing leak, and would really like like to get it fixed. Here's whats been done so far, on three separate visits to the dealer:

1. Rear main seal
2. Another rear main seal a couple of months later
3. CPS o-rings, Crank sensor o-rings, bedplate removed and gasket replaced.

There is still a leak, but it seems to be less of a leak than before.

Here's the problem. I have airbags that I want to put on, but I don't want the holes I drill in the frame to be an issue with Ford if it comes time for a buyback. Any suggestions?

Get the Firestone Ride Rite "No drill instalation". The Firestone part number is 2330.

I second the No-Drill ones. I put a set on last week. took me all of 2 hours. Nice easy job.
