Found my oil leak, what to plug it with

[Fletch124]

I got under the car to see what size oil filter cap i need to take the oil filter off. Anyways i noticed a small hole right under the crank pulley above the lip of the front of the oil pan. What can i plug it with? Silicone?

Uhhh...you don't want to plug that. It's a weep hole in the lower timing cover...it's there to allow any oil that seeps past the crank seal to drain away. Otherwise, it would collect and get on your timing belt...not good!
