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 noticed oil did glug out of the lower hole when I was hand turning the crank (see oil pooled in bottom, which is actually covering the lower hole). My question is should one or both of the holes be sealed? My repair manual has no mention or reference to these holes. Thanks in advance, hopefully the attached pic will help to explain the situation.
Thanks,
Greg A
