Interesting. I was just painting the built block from Daisy last night and noticed I have the same. Only mine has a tidy little bolt in there. I was surprised I hadn't noticed it before. Pretty sure I rebuilt the original block (97), since the first rebuild (95) lost that wrist pin lock. Then again, I did buy the car new in September of 96, so perhaps it's a 95-96 throwback? If you don't have it on your 97-98...

Just a thought.

I think it's odd that the OPSU would be losing oil through the connector, though. It's still my first suspect, since a rear main leaking that badly would probably result in the clutch slippage Erik mentioned. Either way, I would drop that lower access panel and inspect the inside of the bellhousing to be sure. Wouldn't hurt to throw a plug in that OPSU location, clean the backside, and fire it up to see if it's fixed.

Good luck.
