What was i ment to put in this hole ;)

Post by gamble63 » Mon May 04, 2015 3:19 pm

Not as exciting as it sounds unfortunately, cranked the engine over and oil came out, so ive obviosuly forgot to put something back in, was thinking maybe oil pressure sensor or temp?

Any ideas, i also cant find what ever it was in my box of re build bits so where would i buy one?

Cheers
