Hi all,

I'm very new to this, just took delivery of an Ex-MOD 110 a couple of weeks ago. I was going to perform an oil change today and noticed on the underside of the flywheel housing (?) that I seem to be missing a plug/bolt that goes into it? I have, as of yet, been unable to locate this in my manuals and wondered if someone could help me out. Thanks ahead of time!

That is the clutch housing and the hole should be open in normal use. Any oil coming out here will be the result of a crankshaft rear seal leak. A plug is fitted if deep water wading is expected. If truck still has tool kit plug may be in it.

As an ex mod 110 engine likely a 12j 2.5 non turbo diesel. There is a second plug hole in the base of timing belt housing for the same reason.
