Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 26, 2003 Shouldn't be any oil coming from that. It's the inspection cover for the flywheel (for reading the TDC markings). Nothing in there except air and a clutch/flywheel assembly. Some people think that is the gearbox filler plug and I've seen NUMEROUS people fill that hole with gearbox oil. Smell the oil, if it smells like peanuts, it's gear oil. If it's odourless or with a slight tinge of petrol smell, it's engine oil. Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
