Question
Ok I have a 1989 bonnie. ON the engine, next to where you put the oil in but not on the big oil resevour. There is a whole. It looks like there should be something stopping it up like a plug or something. Because it is open oil is going all over my engine. Any ideas on what goes there? Also where is the map sensor sapose to go? Sorry new to all this. Thanks

Are you talking about the oil cap on the valve cover? If it is missing, go to an auto parts store and get a new one.
This car does not have a MAP sensor. Are you sure you didn't mean MAF? If its the MAF sensor, its a black rectangle on your throttle body, hard to miss. If your getting a code (sixty something) that your haynes manual says is MAP, it'* actually an EGR problem if I remember correctly. Someone else will be more clear on the details...

only hole i can think of is for the pcv valve, but that is on the back valve cover. i recall no holes on the front valve cover, save for that which you put the oil cap on. i think a picture is truly necessary, as this can be a potential serious issue.

Open that up in paint and show us where the oil is coming from. If you need someone to host a picture send it to me through email.

I talked with REDSTU and she pointed out that the hole was in this vicinity.
Upon closer inspection this is the only hole I can see. I have no idea what it is for, but the fact it is spewing oil isn't good. So what is going on?
