<< As I was poking around the engine compartment today, waiting for the oil to

 back side of the alternator (as you stand at the rear of the car).

 Is there something supposed to be attached to this or is it a plug for
 diagnostics? I would tell you what color the wires were but I forgot to note
 it, and it's late, but this is keeping me up. If it is a diagnostics
 connection, should there be a cover on it?

 Any insight would be appreciated... I stared at the diagrams in the Bentley
 manual but came up with nothing.

 Paul, that connector you mention is for a diagnostic tool. Don't worry about
it, it never gets used anyway. I've never even used it.
