    See the green bolt in the front by the timing chain? It's an oil drain plug bolt with a round cylinder screen behind it. Anyone know why it's there? mine is leaking oil, and I replaced the crush washer. I can't find a thing anywhere on it and why it's there. Please let me know..

    Probably an oil feed or return that's used or was used for another application.

    I'm going with it being a VVTi oil screen.
