howdy gang, i was driving a noticed a faint smoke so i pulled over to find my engine bay full of oil like a bomb had gone off hahaha...

anyway i dont know **** about my motor i didnt put it together and i dont really do honda stuff. the bottom end is b18a, it looks like the oil came from a hole...its about quarter sized, threaded on the inside, and just a couple inches to the drivers side of the oil filter. anyone tell me what it is, what should be there etc?

right now this hole is just open, i dont know if there was a plug that got blown off, i dont think there was an oil line or anything there before but i really cant recall haha. but pretty damn sure this is where its coming from. oil filter is tight, too hot to take off and check just yet, but i dont think its leaking. i am using an oem honda filter for the s2000, everyone said it would fit.

ok but anyway i got a pic to show the thing i mean, should make it easier, thanks guys:



this pic there appears to a be a plug there...

 

i think figured it out....i feel like *** but oh well, i was worried about the car. i just put a couple thousand into it, was hoping to get a break for awhile!

i limped it home with barely any oil so i hope nothing got damaged...luckily i was carrying some extra oil, im a former rotary guy so its a habit that comes in handy at times like this.

 

yea..there should be a plug there

 

what i cant figure out is how a metal plug in there could just come off.

i guess the only question left is where i can by another, i must not be wording it properly or something because no luck so far

 

go to honda. they can help. or just get one at a junk yard. any b series motor should work

 

well i dont want the sensor itself i would like one of those big metal plugs like in the pic, i found a couple more pictures that have them. but i guess either way is better than driving without oil. going out of town for a couple weeks tomorrow though...

 

anyone got an ideas on what i can get and/or where a plug for this thing? or size of something i can look for?

as far as the sensor i still havnt found anything, junkyard isnt an option for now because im out of town for awhile and i will be back like 2 days at most between now and going out again for several more weeks. i have looked quite a bit and am out of ideas. sent some emails to people i thought would know but no replies yet.
