Hey I am assembling a 2006 Evo IX right know with front nose damage and I just changed the oil and when i started up the car i had a ton of oil squirting out a hole right next to the oil filter. It looks like there should be a plug or an oil line coming out through there but there was nothing there so I just need someone to tell me what they have connected to that hole. I have attached a photo that kinda shows the location and it is right next to the filter on the engine side.

 

Isnt that for a tap? sensor, bolt, etc

 

maybe thats where the oil cooler hose goes... just find a plug and plug it up for now

 

i think thats the sensor hole for oil press/temp etc...you can go to a auto parts store and get a bolt to plug it up

 

From factory that whole has an allen style plug in it, people remove it to tap for an oil pressure gauge.

 

There are 2 large holes for the oil cooler lines. That looks like one of them. Large banjo bolts go there with the lines. If you have no oil cooler, I know Advanced auto parts has plugs that work for it. That was the only place I could find them, and it's an oil drain plug.
