    What is the round hole on the left side of the engine under the large round cover.
    And why is mine leaking.
    I don't know a lot about my 83 xj750 maxum
    Since I haven't had it long.
    I do love it though.

    Those plugs usually do not come out easily or well....if its just a slight leak then I would probably leave it. Have you cleaned off the side of the engine with a de-greaser to make sure it is not running down from another location?

    Check behind the round cover too the one the crank position sensors or pick ups are.
