Wes, on min ethe oil leak is the quarter sized rubber plug above the head bolt on the RF corner of the engine. The one down in the pocket you can just see with a flashlight. The rubber plug is the access to this head bolt. The plug cost me $16 = shipping and took weeks to get here from a dealer 65 miles away. You will also need some sealer to reseal the valve rocker support piece. It is special sealer works the opposite of RTV. It seals in the absence of air. Permatex 599 I believe. Also the books cautions against not keeping the valve rocker box bolts in order, there is on .5mm difference in some of their lengths, I'd suggest a cardboard and punch the bolts through in order. Happy wrenching, Max
