to suspend the drain plug in the hole & to suxx out most of the oil in the
bottom of the case :) but the oil in the botton of that
case that did not drain realy made the paper towel broken up
I sure would like to be able to sick a fiber camera up the drain plug and in
the
oil filler opening  ...

wonder if someone in town has one of these http://www.provision100.com/
