Greetings All,
I replaced the rear main on my MF 245, got it all back together, fired it up and drip, drip, drip, oil from the forward weep hole closet to rear of engine, When I was replacing the rear main seal in the bell housing behind the flywheel, I noticed two apprx 3/4" diameter holes, one was about 2" on top of the other lower one. These are located on lower portion of the bell housing wall that separates the clutch chamber from the engine block. The upper hole was open but the lower one had dried RTV in it as if someone tried to seal it. I removed the old RTV thinking the holes must be there for a reason, and not seeing any type of missing plug laying in the bottom area. I noticed some oil did glug out of the lower hole when I was hand turning the crank. My question is should one or both of the holes be sealed or not? My repair manual makes no mention or reference to these holes. Thanks in advance. I'll be glad to post a picture later if anyone needs to see what the situation involves.
Thanks all
