Can anybody tell me where this port leads?
Picture A gives the larger perspective of where the picture was taken and picture B zooms in on the area in question. The engine is on an engine stand with the oil drained. As I rotated the motor on the stand to take the oil pan off, oil started pouring out of the area in question (arrow).
First of all, why is engine oil potentially exposed here? And secondly I was going to degrease the whole engine and now I guess I better stay away from that area. That is an Offenhouser intake manifold.
