SO after doing a major Eng service & re-seal got the car back together & upon installing
the eng bay shift rod look up & see...a drip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) After inspection looks like the front oil galley plug. Considering replacement "in-car". Anyone BTDT? |

No, this is the approx 1" one at the bottom nearest the Taco plate.
I thought if I removed the Eng bar & motor mount Id have enough access to avoid dropping the motor .. perhaps not. |

I don't have an engine case handy to look at but I believe the plug you describe is for the oil pick-up passage. Which means it is not a pressurised oil galley. You might be able to access it with the engine bar out but it will be limited access. You are probably best off pulling the engine. Jim |
