Leaking Oil

[R3 Guy]

So I've developed an oil leak which has been attributed to a leaking [FONT=&quot]oil gallery plug. What the Haiti is that? [/FONT]

PR was good...all 4 weeks of it-then spent a week in Dallas. All in all I was gone 6 weeks. At least I missed most of the cold weather here.
Dink has to order the part, I hope it's not one of those long distance thingamabobs that takes forever to come in.

Where is the oil gallery plug?

By Galley plug are you referring to one of the pipe plug in the oil galley on the sump pan?

That's it... Dealer called it a gallery plug. Have any extras?

There just a standard metric pipe plug pull it apply some teflon tape and put it back in . I bet the problem will go away. Unless they tightend it up so much it cracked the casting.

I'm hoping its not the casing. Dealer tells me it's just the plug but I nicked it on something and it now leaks. Needed and oil change anyway.

Thanks for the great pic and info.
