Listers,
I said that I'd have numerous questions, and I just couldn't wait for =
this one!

The car has one leak, and it is coming from a small hole at the rear of =
the bell housing on the transmission. I've looked everywhere for a =
diagram to tell me what this hole might be, but all of them are depicted =
at a side-angle.
Here is the scary part, besides the oil dripping out (which is not =
really that scary on an LBC, is it?) --=20
What appears to be the bent ends of a cotter pin are dangling from this =
hole!
Does anyone know what this hole is?
I have half a mind (which is a majority of my brain capacity) to take =
some chewing gum, plug the little hole, fill the thing with the proper =
oil and forget about it until the brakes, head and exhaust are fixed.
Any idea what this is? Any leads on a diagram that will show me what =
this is? I have the major catalogs and the Haynes manual and couldn't =
find anything.
BTW, the transmission works great, nice solid shifts, no grinds...."Like =
Butta"=20
Help!
TIA
