There is none in the factory Pport housing either. No water = no water leaks. Wow, I didn't know that. I had thought about filling the whole cavity around the PP, but figured that was too silly to mention. So that should take care of the water leaks I guess. Did I also read that the factory PP housing doesn't use one of the through bolts? I'm guessing the port gets in the way if it's big enough. >> Tap the unused bolt hole in the rear iron for a pipe plug lest the floor under the engine get wet when you try to fill it. Lynn E. Hanover
