Thread: A hole dear Eliza.....a hole (TD5 bolt/plug missing)

Is it like this?
(am guessing, can only see little red x's)

Looks to me like the bell housing. it contains the torque converter, flywheel and a lot of air. The hole is for a wading plug to be fitted when you go through deep water. It also lets any oil leaks out to firm up your dirt driveway.

Thats the sucker - phew, i thought I could have done some real damage driving that far with out it. Thought that was where all the oil under the disco was coming from.....guess not.

Thanks guys..... a load off my mind

If you've got oil leaks,check the oil filter behind the turbo, most of these are put on finger tight, and when you see how hard it is to get to then finger tight is not vert tight most times..I have seen them put on with the old o-ring still in place and this will cause a leak as well..
A place to start..
