    Default Oil leak from Torx screw on the L/H side of the engine - any ideas what/what size?

    I have an oil leak from a black torx screw on the left side of the engine just below the transmission filter. Can anyone tell me what that black torx screw is, and what it goes to?
    It looks like a 17 or 18 torx?

    First of all, Steve; left hand and right-hand sides of ANY vehicle will always be referenced from the aspect of the driver when they are in/on the vehicle. The transmission filter on the 1330 is on the RIGHT hand side of the engine. So, which side of the engine are we really on?

    Just in case, here's a pic of the clutch cover screws under the transmission filter - more accurately called the HCM filter. Is it one of these? It could just be a little seepage from the filter that is running down to the screw and dripping from there. Are the filter screws all tight? See if you can stick your phone down in there and get a pic. Either way, you are under warranty. Don’t be afraid to use it.

    Wow! An impossible question with an answer then being in the same category. Not to complain, but even games shows give a few clues so the poor contestant has a chance.
