Subject:blown out oil passage plug!
From:raul lince

My wife started the van and she said she heard "a noise" so she
checked the dash and the oil light as blinking. Looked underneath and
saw a small "cap" and alot of oil.  Looked in the factory manual and
it seemed to look like one of the plugs behind the drive plate.  I
inspected anothe engine with a piston knock that i have and sure
enough , the little cap fits exactly at the end of an oil passage!
when I started the van up to move (only briefly ) the thing bled oil
like a stuck pig.  Ive got a plug coming from the dealer, but im worried
about intallation procedures.
Any special tools? How about a pipe plug?  Is the fact that ours blew a bad
sign of other problems?

         Thanks
