Can't be sure of your problem, however I had
a tractor that had a simular problem at the
tranny. A hole about 1/4 dia. No threads for
a bolt. The oil would seep out while at idle.
pour out when driving. I finally discovered a
small 1/4 inch flat plug worked it's way out,
and left a open hole. The plug popped in like
a freeze plug in the engine. My fix was tap the
hole with threads and install a small bolt to
seal the hole. Use grease on the thread tap to
prevent metal shavings entering the engine.
don't thread all the way to the bottom of the
hole, just a few threads is all that's needed.
You will find drillings of the type, they are
for cleaning out lines at the factory. Some are
for added on goodies needing oil supply. In most
cases these are never seen or start leaking.
just a place on the block.
