So I just put in my ka-t (240sx) and when I was cranking it over I noticed a huge puddle of oil coming out from between the engine and tranny. after pulling the tranny and flywheel off I thought it was the main seal. Then, after turning the motor over by hand I realized it was a random hole in my block. It's about the size of a dime and is located at about 2 o'clock from the main seal. I have no clue what this is, but I need to cap it.. I see the hole in the fsm but it doesn't say anything about it.
HELP!


and I know this is more hybrid tech, but I really need an answer soon and this is the most popular section...

 

cmon man you should know this.........say it with me... j b w e l d

 

Probably freeze plugs. I bet your block was left with water in it and it froze or something.

 

haha... i would love to... but i really don't want to pull the tranny again... it was a bitch... plus... i need to figure this out because there might be something important missing?

it's little though... and don't the freeze plugs go in the coolant circuit? because this has oil coming out of it.

 

Can you see if it has threads? Oil galleys usually go front to back and are plugged on each end.

i didn't read enough. wheres the oil pump on that block? maybe its a seep hole for the oil pump.

 

pump is in the front

i just checked for threads and as best i can tell there aren't any for at least 6" in... (as far as my screwdriver went)

 

post pics ftw

 

got some pics

 

Where are they then?
