The point I make is the rubber plug which has the Alternator cable from the Alternator to the harness has a passage from the front cover to the shift cover compartment.
IF the rubber plug in the bulkhead (faces left To Right) where the loom goes through is not properly covered in adhesive sealant, the oil from the Alternator Rotor Stator cover will penetrate and eventually make a oil slick on the ground beneath the Gear Change cover. Misleading, but true.
