IHOP NON-SERVICE PLUG
So I have had to put off fixing the oil leak because of some medical issues, but got back on it today. Took out the IPR, then the non-serviceable plug with the plug facing upward so I wouldn't lose the little ball in there. Plug was loose so I assume that was at least part of the leak issue.
However, carefully taping the pump inside an oil pan, out came the edge filter but no ball. Tapped some more - nothing. Tapped harder - still no ball. tapped hard to no avail. Put a little HP air in there, not too much - NOTHING. Squirted a little brake cleaner in there - still nothing. More air - nothing. Where's the ball??? and what do I do now?

Thanks for posting a picture for reference. That should help the OP out and ensure he is using correct terminology.

Why would there be pancakes?? He specifically said this was a plug for NON SERVICE at ihop. If he went to ihop and didn't get any service how would he have any pancakes???

Can you see the round raised hemispherical end at the bottom of the hole with the edge filter removed? Sometimes they get stuck. If you do see it, be very careful removing it. Otherwise, just leave it alone. But don't mar it. If it's not there, you'll need to find it. If you were having issues before this could be the problem. Although they don't generally start/run without one.
