[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 467651, member: 3278"] [size=5]Both are drain holes for water to escape. If those are plugged then when the water freezes the castings will split. As far as the oily stuff coming out? Again pretty normal for a 38 year old engine assuming the shift rod seal is intact and the driveshaft seal is as well. Check your gear oil at the bottom and see if it is normal or milky. If normal then just enjoy your engine. Now you have a definitive answer! [/size] [/QUOTE]
