No, it wouldn=92t.  If that=92s engine oil, I=92d suspect it leaked from th=
e rear main seal, and a likely culprit is pressure in the crankcase.  Would=
 be worth checking your engine=92s ventilation system.  If it=92s transmiss=
ion fluid, then its either the front main seal of the tranny, or the gasket=
 under the cover at the front of the layshaft.

Either way, you don=92t want a pool of oil in the bell housing for the clut=
ch to pick up.

I can see oil is coming out here.  Would it make any sense to put a gasket =
in there?  Plug that hole?  Is that bad or simply pointless?

Early tr4
