ok, i always have the weirdest problems but.... this one takes the cake :mad:
Today i noticed my car smelt a lil funny when i ran it, so when i got home i popped the hood, and was lookin around and saw a tiny hole, in my head near the cam gear cover.. it looked like oil was just chilling in the hole, not really coming out tho, So i checked my oil, almost none left.... :cry: ill post the pic with the area cirled where the hole is.
A couple days ago i cleaned my IC and the hoses popped off a couple times, if that might have something to do with this :confused: Please i need help, i dont know how long i can live without driving!
 
hmm been doing research and found another pic of a hole in the exact same spot, so i know its not coincidence, this is from a 99 GS-T, problem is im still trying to find out if a screw should be in place, can anyone go take a look at their engines and tell me please?

according to another current thread its a drain hole for the space under the spark plug cover. It can start to get clogged w/ oil and can be cleared out w/ hanger or the like. Everyone has one .
