Title: Is this the dreaded oil plug leak?
Post by raydawg on 07/22/14 at 19:43:53

Smelled a little bit of oil burning when I shut her off. After she cooled down I went and checked my level and snooped around a bit. Under the exhaust outlet on the head, a bolt and nut is centered in the opening. it has oil on it, and some around the general area....
Is that the oil plug that you all fix?
Can I tighten the existing nut any?
Any real concern if I put it off till winter? :-?

Nope,... not the dreaded plug...
Snug that nut... don't go crazy, don't strip it...
If snugging don't stop the leak... take it off and add a bit of RTV...
You be good to go...
