    That hole should be there, looks like your rear main seal is leaking!

    Yup, the semi-circular hole, but is it me, it looks like a big hole in the bellhousing the right of the drain hole. Either that, or I need new glasses.

    And yes, your rear main seal is leaking, time to check your PCV

    I'm off to Specsavers in the morning!

    Get the PCV checked before that leak gets worse, it can blow the rear crank seal and ruined your clutch (unless its an auto!)

    ,.,

    check that the shift lights work on a 5 cyl engine as they mostly seem to be for 4 or 6 or 8 cyl engines...............
    5 seems to be an odd number lol.
    but i was looking into these products and almost all said 4 6 or 8 cyl........
    not a mention of 5 cyl.

    RE the oil, is the oil just coming fromthere or is it down the back of the engine too? As mine had oil dripping from that exact same spot, but it was running down the back of the engine from the turbo return hose and dripping off the bottom of the bellhousing causing the symptoms of a RMS leak.

    Although looking at the pic it does look like there is oil on the starting ring teeth, so possibly there is oil inside the bellhousing.

    I'm sure I read somewhere that even though the engine produces 5 pulses, the ecu only sends 4 to the rev counter.

    That shift light looks smart.

    think i found that out when wiring the shift light now you mention it

    That shift light looks smart.
    quite a reasonable price as well, sits nice on the steering wheel cowling
