I really like your story most!
On July the 9th I'm going to the European MG event of the year and ask some
opinions there.

Cheers,

Hans

Ah yes, a recurring question... Let me take this one...

The hole is to let the oil and rain water, whatever gets into the bell 
housing, out.  The rather large cotter pin is there loosely, to prevent 
anything settling there and gumming up the hole.  So as you drive around, it

vibrates and moves about and keeps the hole clean.

What an engineering marvel! They knew the rear seal would leak, so they not 
only made a place for the oil to go, but a self-cleaning oil hole at that! 
:-)

YMMV

Next?
