That round plate is the oil strainer plate in the bottom of the sump. Something pushed it up into the pickup tube and the tube punched a hole in the plate. The only way to fix it is to pull the plate and replace it. It's also possible that the tube is broken too. If that's the case, then you have to disassemble the motor down to splitting the case halves to fix it.
Pull the sump plate and take more pictures, both inside and out. |

That doesn't look like the bottom of the pickup tube. It almost looks like something else was welded on there and then removed??

Uh....
if engine runs, but has a "leak" (not a GUSHER), with this piece o' sumthing hanging out, it SHOULDN'T be the oil return tube. That cover would be pushed WAY in to punch through the screen and cover. Does it run hot? Seems like an extension for a tuna can style sump, but that would be the pick-up tube then..... I'm wondering if there is a screen at all. Be carefull on that one attaching bolt in the center, I understand you can pull it outa the case really easy. |

it does look like something was welded on. I was thinking some sort of oil temp sensor. It looks like there was something there and now its gone. That's why I was wondering if its abnormal to see that weld there in the cover.

That is definitely not normal! I'd seriously consider doing an oil change and dropping the sump plate so you can check out what the heck that is. Might be a good idea to have an unmodified/undamaged sump plate on hand when you do that, so you can put on one that hasn't been ****ed with.

K dudes, I forgot to get bring my camera but it turns out that there was a warmer element (120V coil) that was part of the sump cover. This outside part of the element had been ripped off and the inside part of it was rusting badly. I cut it out and welded the holes left over to seal it.
Thanks -L |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I knew it was a block heater, or what's left of one...but you already figured that out (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Just get another sump plate...doubt if it's straight now and if you try to crank it down you can break the boss that the sump plate bolt hangs from. If you do that the case is scrap. |
