Dont quote me on it, but i think what you are talkin about is just the "clutch inspection hole" thingy, so i think it will be fine to block it, but maybe someone else will be 100% sure
There is supposed to be a rubber plug that fits that opening........search the J-yard.

i wonder the same thing sometimes, i mean they are angled to keep water out under normal conditions, but i dont know if they can be blocked off, or if they even need to be
Hole may also be for a external slave cylinder for a different application.
Got pics?

Water getting that high, the clutch may be the least of your worries. The hole is to vent heat from the clutch/flywheel area.

And I guess it is angled the opposite way to that would also make it harder to get in there Just thought i'd ask if anybody has had any proublems thanks alot old93junk
