Hi Guys
I was out today changing the engine oil from Dino to Synth and did the flush
and all that. When I was checking and wiping under the engine of bits of
fluid just so if the engine springs a leak I will know. Lying under the
cruiser I found a little fluid at the back of the engine, between the engine
and I presume the gear box.
When I wiped it a black plastic cover fell onto the ground. The cover is
made of black rubber with the word (UP) on it and an arrow pointing in that
direction of (UP).
The cover does not seem to be sealed in place but instead has three clips or
catches on it, again I presume to keep it in place in the hole it was
intended to plug.
It is not really flexable and is moulded to fit the hole it was entented
for.
This cover fell from the gap between the engine and the gearbox??.
Just back from the drain plug is a gap between the engine sump and the next
big lump of metal.
O shit I have done something that I shoudn't have.
What is this cover for and should I just put it back or should I seal it
back into position.
What is in the hole that this cover fits.
Should I fill it will some sort of oil or grease before I replace the cover.
If I cant get it back what will happen.
There does not seem to be any liquids or anything else coming out of the
hole at the moment.
Any ideas would help my heart to settle down from the presant 300 beats a
minute. I have the nack of making the easiest of jobs more complcated, it
really is a skill I have.
thanks
