Default Dropping engine and transmission: What preventive maintenance parts to check/replace

My engine and transmission are coming down to trace an oil leak that could not be found with everything on the car. I plan to dry ice clean everything as well in the meantime.
Anyone know what other things in particular i should inspect and replace if necessary so that i dont have to drop the engine again later on? water pump, thermostat, belts, AOS are already on my list. Any troublesome hoses in hard to reach places? Its a 997.2 C2S PDK with 51k miles.

There's a ground cable (to the starter or alt, I forget) thought to contribute to slow start. Clutch? Plugs/coils?

I don't believe the 997.2 has the slow start problem.

Dry Ice Clean?? wha? Ok, what and why?
