Oil leak on clutch housing

Postby zc32s » Sun Oct 19, 2014 7:53 pm

I have a leak coming from the clutch housing. Its coming out of a little hole, is this hole meant to be plugged?

No, don't plug it. Unfortunately it's a drain hole put there to let oil from a more serious leak escape. Talk to your local Mazda specialist about replacing a leaking rear main oil seal.
