I went looking with the chinese USB endoscope and found a loose block plug.

Looks like this was an aux oil port for a different application of this block. One of the aluminum plugs is loose.

I cleaned the plug, pinged it back in tight with a punch and hammer (had to remove the hydraulic pump to reach) and then covered it up with this stuff.

At least it got new gaskets, water pump, coolant hoses, and some much needed paint touchup.
