I just got this ole girl rewired and starts great but spits oil out of the starter motor shaft? should there be a cap? The outside look treaded please let me know.

I was wrong its not the starter its the end of the hydraulic pump? the end near to the bell housing. The outside is threaded. Should there be a cap on it. In the owners (almost usless) handbook it shows a proof meter cable comimg out so is it just a cable drive I tried unscrewing it and it almost backed out so I screwed it back in. Should it have some preload? If fluid is getting passed it is a seal gone? I bought two of these beuties at the same time (such a deal) the other one has no cover but what loos like a plug in the end. I bet I could get it at my local car parts store if I knew what I needed. Any body out there?

That is where your tach cable connects to but the reason it is leaking is because the shaft seal needs to be replaced

Thanks, now at least I know there is nothing missing other than the tach cable. Is it a job that requires speacial tools to replace the seal?
