Should i worry about this
« on: July 19, 2009, 02:25:36 PM »
There are two holes drilled in the main engine casing one near the dip stick and one on the opposite side in a similar position.......im getting a slight oil mist appearing around it ??? there's no loss of power or anything else the oil level doesn't  seem to be dropping so should i be worrying about it ?

They are drain holes for the starter "cavity".  Possibly your crankcase breather hose (which runs through there) might have a crack?
