Actually, an 1/8" pipe plug threads in quite nicely.  This is probably the
same thread as is used on the oil pressure switches?   Would be a good spot

These bleeder plugs are doomed to failure and their frequently required use
does not make the situation any better.  The best remedy which I have been
able to devise is to make a plug of SS with a needle bleed valve in it to
replace that failure-prone piece of dreck VW installs.
