As you Vanagon experts have probably already deduced, I am not in your
league mechanically.

Got under the '87 today and found a 10mm  Hex bolt that I got off with an
Allen wrench.  Oil is now draining as is the filter.

Is this an OEM plug?  It is absolutely the opposite of what is in the
Manual.  I did not see a crush gasket, but have not had any oil leaking in
that area in the past...  Plan on filling her back up and cranking up for a
ride.

Any thoughts?
