Default 4 leaking freeze plugs is that common?

so i noticed i had a leaking freeze plug didnt see any others leaking a couple weeks ago. so today i replaced the one i seen leaking. then i took it out for a drive. noticed that one i replaced was leaking a little so i pulled it back in the shop. messed with that one some more think it stopped leaking. but i noticed this time one more on that side leaking. so i figured i better look on the other side. yup two on that side are leaking. no one carries more than 1 in stock around here either wtf. so i cant do anything about them unless i drive all over the place to get 3 more plugs. so the front one and the back one on the pass side are bad. and the first two on the driver side leak. looks like there rusting out. the rear pass one i have to take the manifold off to get too. plus no one carries the gaskets for them either. looks like i'll order everything and have it shipped here. then fix everything next weekend. just wondering if anyone else has seen this many leaking before.

well i changed all the ones out that leaked. going to take it for a test run soon. wasnt too bad to change them just had to take the oil dipstick out for the one but that wasnt too bad. then get around all the crap on the driver side. didnt have to take the exhaust manifold off to get the back one on the pass side either. hope they dont leak lol
