Missing Plug on Engine
While crawling around under my coach today with a grease gun I noticed the empty hole shown in the pic. I apologize for the bad pic but it's kind of tight under there! This is looking up from the ground at the mating area between the eng and xmsn, with eng on the right and xmsn on the left. The hole is threaded and the case beveled to accept a plug. I have never noticed this missing in the past but from the looks of the hole it has been open for awhile. Can anyone remember if this hole is supposed to be plugged?

Nothing missing, it's made that way so if the "front" seal goes out the fluid/oil will drain out.

Hey rag_ftw,
I'm not sure but that may be the plug that keeps the Flux Capacitor from leaking??????
I apologize, couldn't resist. Don't remember ever seeing that on my rig. If the weather isn't too bad, I'll go look at mine tomorrow.
And PS: Have a Happy New Year.
