Why does oil come out of this area when I crank over the engine?

[farmalldave]

I'm restoring my old farmall 806 with the gas c301 engine and I noticed after I cranked over the engine it would drip oil from this area I'm pointing at in the picture. My old block cracked so I had to find another one to replace it. I'm just now able to crank it over haven't started it yet but what's this part called that's spilling oil after I crank the engine over.

I know 806's and i need a far better picture then what you are showing . I own a 64 806 Diesel and worked on many and that DOES NOT RING a bell as to where that fitting lays . I see two Hyd . lines that could be steering or cooling lines that run along the left frame rail . BUT NOT a broad enough picture as to location or enough casting .

Port for oil pressure gauge?

It leaks because there is supposed to be a plug there.

Was your block from a combine, cotton picker, etc? That may have been a port for a pressure gauge or idiot light.

Combine engine how do I fix it. Give me some options.

Put an oil galley plug or just a plug of the right size in it

To be more specific take the brass fitting out and screw a normal 1/8” NPT (pipe thread) plug in it. If and 1/8” is to small than it a 1/4”.

Looks like just a 3/8" plug in mine.

That should be a simple find at NAPA, provided they have a competent staff. Otherwise, I'd almost think that would still be a hardware store item.

Also, it does not have to be a recessed head like that one, just the right pipe thread size. It could be a square head or a hex head.

You didn’t need to quote me on that hahaha, and if he doesn’t know he has to remove what’s there to put the correct plug in it well then you know the rest Lmao
