Hey guys,
Really dumb newby question...
What is the drain plug sticking straight forward from the front bottom of the engine?
I thought it was oil, but it doesn't look like it.
I can't find anything in the owners manual.
Please help!!

If you are talking about the bolt next to the cylinder head oil feed line then yes, that is an oil drain bolt. See also Oil and/or Oil Filter Change on/around page 93 in the owners manual.

Banjo bolt with two copper washers?
Shew, I thought I really messed up. Looks like it is the bottom of the tube that takes oil to the cylinder head.
Thanks for the quick response!!

Yes, the banjo bolt with 2 sealing washers IS the cylinder head oil feed line.

Re: Drain Plug ( Bottom Front of Engine )
Got it, feeling pretty ignorant at this point. I took it out instead of the front drain plug that points down. Already got it all back together with oil before I realized I pulled the wrong one. Now I probably have too much oil in it. ARRRGH!!
