Pointless, and quite possibly harmful=2E
Above that hole is the cavity where the clutch is, and the clutch facings=
need to stay dry=2E The leak is from either the rear main seal or the gea=
rbox input seal (most likely rear main)=2E
If you stop up the bell housing drain hole, it will just leak from the co=
ver plate=2E Then if you seal it up, the bell housing will slowly fill with=
oil until it fouls the clutch=2E
A much better fix is to fit the "Mad Marx" Viton rear seal=2E Unfortunatel=
y, that is an engine-out operation=2E
