comment on small hole in engine front cover.
I was cleaning the motor on my $100 field find project car when I found the following small hole in the casing.
Pretty clearly the cover is fubar unless I want to try using some jbweld. The lower portion of the motor had a lot of oil on it, which I thought may have come from the oil cooler line but now I'm having second thoughts.
Any idea what might have caused this? The whole area around the bolt is rounded as if to fit a socket but this thing is definitely a hole.

i dont think thats from the bolt that goes through the oil pan.
maybe someone hit something there causing a small hole. probably would be fine if you used some jb weld to plug the hole. if you can take off the front cover and look at it on the inside you might see what caused it. but i think someone might have hit it with something on the outside. my 2 cents.
