I think I found the source of my oil leak on the /6. I dried the case real well yesterday and can only find it leaking from the bolt in the picture.

Since I know nothing about flat 6's (other than they are fun in a 914) what is that bolt? The nut was loose but doesn't tighten up without the stud turning. I assume it is a through bolt since oil leaks from it.

Thanks in advance!
