Oil leak... What is this?
« on: October 18, 2009, 05:42:07 PM »
Have an oil leak underneath left side of engine(near gear shifter). It's coming out of this hole and I'm not sure what's supposed to go there. Inherited this project from a guy so not sure what's up.

If you guys know what's missing in the pic that would be great!

that's your neutral safety switch.
edit: a green wire goes on there.
that bolt with the little flange on it lets it fall out the bottom I think.

There is an o-ring on the switch, try replacing it when you change oil.
