[QUOTE="nobull1, post: 15808, member: 722"] Well I ground the weld off the inspection plate. Once I had the plate removed I stuck the pressure washer in from the top and bottom and blasted everything I could get at. I probably got a cup of oil soaked sand/grease mixture. Then I went with a piece of coat hanger and cleaned between the the fuel tank and steel base. Now I feel pretty confident that it is not the drain plug leaking because after a couple of hours there was no oil around the plug. As to what it is I guess I will have to use it and see if it leaks before or after it rains, or both. At least now I should be able to get a better idea where it is coming from. I also stuck a couple of bolts down from the top through the stripped holes and welded them in place from the bottom so I can just thread and locktite nuts on to hold the cover . The holes were already past 7/16 and would have had to go to 1/2”, so I took the easy way out. Now it will take 30 seconds to remove the inspection cover instead of a half hour. [/QUOTE]
