drain plug behind the belt?
Ok, so I'm a mechanic mental midget...but that's what makes this forum so great for me!
I was crawling around under my rig to drain the fuel filter, and noticed a drain plug directly behind the belt that was wet with what looked like motor oil. What is this drain plug for?

where exactly is it? You have to fuel lines at each head behind the belt that sounds like what u r describing. Those lines have crush washers and sounds like what u r describing but need more info. Thanks

I bet its the cap on your low oil pressure regulator. They have an o ring that sometimes leaks. Underneath the front of the engine, just behind the fanbelt. It takes a hex key to remove.

Bedwards nailed this one. I appears that you need a large hex key.....Maybe I'll let the dealer take a shot at it as I don't have any tool to fit it. Many Thanks
